PUAs are commonly distributed with other apps of this type including, for example, browser hijackers, adware-type apps.īrowser hijackers modify browser settings (such as the default search engine, homepage, and new tab) to promote fake search engines and prevent users from undoing the changes while they are uninstalled.Īdware-type apps generate ads (for example, coupons, banners, surveys, and pop-ups) that often promote bogus sites or even download and install unwanted apps by running certain scripts. PUAs often do not function as promised and some perform fake scans (generate fake results) to trick users into paying for so-called full versions that supposedly remove found items (or fix errors, remove malware, etc.). To use MacFly Pro's features, users must pay for its license (to activate/register the app). Since this software is suspected to be a PUA, it is advisable not to pay for it. MacFly Pro allows users to scan their computers for duplicate files, installed apps, large files, junk files, etc., however, found items cannot removed with the free version.

These apps are classified as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). some users might download and install MacFly Pro inadvertently. MacFly Pro is advertised as a simple and powerful app that that assists Mac maintenance, however, it is likely that this app is promoted using dubious methods.
