How to remove 'Yourmonday' from Mac?

What is 'Yourmonday'?

Yourmonday is a set of deceptive websites (including competition1480.yourmonday67[.]live and play0273.yourmonday23[.]live) that promote potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). These sites deliver fake error messages stating that the system is infected/damaged and encourage visitors to download system cleaners. At time of research, Yourmonday was used to promote Smart Mac Booster. Note that users typically visit websites such as Yourmonday inadvertently, since they are redirected by unwanted applications already present on the system, or intrusive advertisements. PUAs usually infiltrate computers without users' consent, cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisements, and record various information.

Once opened, Yourmonday websites display pop-up messages stating that the system is infected and encouraging users to perform a system scan. After supposedly scanning the system, Yourmonday delivers an error message stating that the system is infected with Bankworm malware. Users are then immediately encouraged to download a system cleaning tool called Advanced Mac Cleaner. In fact, after agreeing to download, visitors are redirected to a website that promotes Smart Mac Booster, a system cleaning/optimization tool. Many system scanners proliferated in this way are fake. They allow users to perform system scans and then feed them with false search results. This is done to scare and trick unsuspecting users into purchasing software, since the 'free versions' are supposedly incapable of fixing errors. You should never trust any application proliferated using websites such as Yourmonday. If you have already installed this software, remove it immediately.

The internet is full of rogue websites that deliver fake error messages and promote unwanted applications. The list of examples includes apple.com-shield-devices[.]live, apple.com-scan-mac[.]live, apple.com-fast[.]live, and many others. No matter which application is promoted, you should never download it. Be aware that none of these websites are capable of scanning systems or detecting any malware infections. Therefore, the error messages should be ignored. Furthermore, these sites often employ scripts that prevent visitors from closing browsing tabs/windows. If you cannot close the site, terminate the browser using Activity Monitor or simply reboot the system. Bear in mind, however, that you should not restore the previous browsing session the next time you run the browser, since you will end up returning to the rogue site.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

As mentioned, potentially unwanted applications typically infiltrate computers without users' consent, since developers proliferate them using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling'. Intrusive advertisements redirect users to dubious websites or simply run scripts that download/install unwanted applications. 'Bundling', on the other hand, is stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software. Developers are not honest enough to adequately disclose installation of third party applications. Therefore, 'bundled' apps are concealed behind 'Custom/Advanced' settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. By clicking various advertisements, and rushing and skipping download/installation steps, many users expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent this situation, be cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Select 'Custom/Advanced' settings and carefully analyze each window of the download/installation dialogs. Opt-out of additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them. We strongly recommend that you avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since most are monetized using the 'bundling' method. Software should be downloaded from official sources only, preferably using direct download links. Bear in mind that intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate. Once clicked, however, they can redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar). As mentioned above, ads of this type are usually delivered by adware-type applications, and thus if you encounter them frequently, uninstall all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins immediately. The key to computer safety is caution. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan withCombo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
