What is PracticalProcesser?
PracticalProcesser is a very non-descript name, and it is hard to understand what exactly this extension offers just from that. In some cases, that is just bad marketing. In others, a way to conceal something more sinister. If you downloaded this extension willingly, perhaps you were promised great services. If that is the case, have you used those services and have they met your expectations? Most likely, they did not, and that is why you have found this removal guide. On the other hand, it is also possible that you downloaded the extension by accident, or it was installed seemingly without your permission at all. If that is the case, the first thing you must do is scan your system. You need to check for hidden threats that might have been introduced to you using disguises or stealth. Regardless of what else the scanner finds, deleting PracticalProcesser is strongly advised, and if you would like to learn about that, keep reading.
How does PracticalProcesser work?
We cannot say how PracticalProcesser might have been introduced to you initially. An official downloader does not seem to exist, but third-party downloaders could be used for the distribution of this extension. In many cases, when people install unreliable programs, they are introduced to additional offers. Unreliable installers can try to conceal them by offering “recommended” installation instead of “custom” installation, for example. Needless to say, it is up to you to figure out exactly what it is that you are installing, and since some installers can be deceptive and unreliable, we suggest sticking to trustworthy downloaders only. You certainly should NOT install anything that might be pushed upon you. For example, if you are installing something desirable, and PracticalProcesser comes attached to it, you should have the option to reject it. Or if you are redirected to the extension’s installer, you should be able to leave the page without restriction. Of course, people can be tricked into installing even the most dangerous threats willingly, and so it is most important that you always pay attention.
If PracticalProcesser is installed on your browser, you might have already checked what permissions this extension has. According to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, there are two main permissions linked to this extension, and it “Can read sensitive information from web pages, including passwords, phone numbers and credit cards on: all web pages” and also “Can see when you visit: all web pages.” That alone might make you decide that you want to remove PracticalProcesser from your Safari browser. According to our team, the extension can also show ads, and that is why we have classified it as adware. Obviously, it is your business how you interact with the shown ads, but we advise that you stay away from them. Why? It is clear that the extension has little regard for users’ privacy, and so it is important to consider the possibility that the ads shown could be unreliable. If you have clicked on suspicious ads before deleting the questionable extension, you have to ask yourself what kind of danger you might have been put in.
How to delete PracticalProcesser
It goes without saying that all extensions you install need to be trustworthy and beneficial. It appears that PracticalProcesser is neither. Obviously, if you cannot trust and use an extension to your advantage, it is best to delete it. We hope that you can remove PracticalProcesser using the guide above. Afterward, scan your system to check if there is nothing else for you to remove from your browser or, perhaps, even the entire operating system. Once you have your system cleaned and safe to use, rethink your extension use and download strategies. Most importantly, never trust unfamiliar, third-party downloaders, and always look up the extensions you want to install to make sure that they have not been identified as threats by cybersecurity researchers. If there is anything else at all that we could help you with in regard to this strange extension, do not hesitate to leave us a comment below.
