How to remove Advanced Mac Tuneup from Mac?
What is Advanced Mac Tuneup?
Advanced Mac Tuneup is a dubious application that claims to enhance system performance by optimizing and removing all threats/malware. Initially, Advanced Mac Tuneup may seem legitimate, however, developers promote this app using a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling', and thus it often infiltrates systems without permission. Therefore, Advanced Mac Tuneup is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
One of the main Advanced Mac Tuneup features is malware removal. After performing a system scan, users are presented with many potential infections/threats that must be eliminated immediately, however, since the free version of Advanced Mac Tuneup is incapable of doing this, users are encouraged to purchase the 'full version'. Be aware, however, that it is currently not confirmed if this application is reliable. There are dozens of fake system optimization tools that deliver false positives simply to trick users into purchasing so-called full versions. There is a high probability that your computer is optimized and virus free. We recommend that you to uninstall this application. As mentioned above, Advanced Mac Tuneup is distributed using the 'bundling' method. Therefore, developers typically 'bundle' several potentially unwanted applications at once. Advanced Mac Tuneup might have been deployed together with adware or browser hijackers. These apps are designed to deliver intrusive advertisements, cause unwanted redirects, and gather various information about your browsing activity. Therefore, as well as removing Advanced Mac Tuneup, you should also eliminate other dubious applications/browser plug-ins.

Threat Type | PUP (potentially unwanted program), PUA (potentially unwanted application), Mac malware, Mac virus |
Supposed Functionality | System optimization, |
Detection Names | Avast (MacOS:AMC-IC [PUP]), BitDefender (Application.MAC.Tunenup.CJ), Emsisoft (Application.MAC.Tunenup.CJ (B)), ESET-NOD32 (A Variant Of OSX/Jawego.A Potentially Unwanted), Full List Of Detections (VirusTotal) |
Symptoms | A program that you do not recall installing suddenly appeared on your computer. A new application is performing computer scans and displays warning messages about 'found issues'. Asks for payment to eliminate the supposedly found errors. |

Removal | To eliminate malware infections our security researchers recommend scanning your Mac with Combo Cleaner. |
Potentially unwanted applications are all very similar. By offering 'useful functionality', these apps attempt to give the impression of legitimacy, however, they are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Most deliver no real value for regular users. Potentially unwanted applications deliver intrusive advertisements, gather sensitive information, cause unwanted redirects, and, in some cases, promote in-app purchases. In doing so, PUAs pose a direct threat to your privacy and Internet browsing safety.
How did potentially unwanted programs install on my computer?
Advanced Mac Tuneup is free for anyone to download on its official website, however, as mentioned above, it is also distributed using the 'bundling' method - stealth installation of third party software with regular (usually free) applications. Developers do not adequately disclose PUA installations. Therefore, most are hidden within 'Custom/Advanced' settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users rush these procedures and skip steps. In doing so, they expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Lack of knowledge and careless behavior are the main reasons for computer infections - the key to caution is safety. Therefore, pay close attention when browsing the Internet and downloading/installing software. Carefully analyze each window of the download/installation dialogs and opt-out of all additionally-included dialogs. Also opt-out of all additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them. You are advised to download programs only from their official sources, using direct download links. Potentially unwanted applications are also distributed using intrusive advertisements that redirect to malicious sites and run scripts that download/install malware. Most seem legitimate, but once clicked, redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, etc.) If you experience these redirects, immediately remove all dubious applications and browser add-ons. If your computer is already infected with PUPs, we recommend running a scan withCombo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
