Remove packagefinder1.app

About this contamination in short

packagefinder1.app is classified as a reroute virus that could install without your consent. Setup usually happens by chance and often users do not even know how it happened. The most common way hijackers spread is using freeware bundles. A browser intruder is not categorized as dangerous and thus should not damage your computer in a direct way. Nevertheless, it may reroute to promoted portals. Those sites aren’t always safe so if you were to enter a dangerous web page, you could end up with a much more severe contamination on your operating system. It will not give any handy features to you, so allowing it to stay is pretty pointless. Terminate packagefinder1.app and you may go back to normal surfing.
