What is Spaces?
Identical to Spotlight.app, Spaces (also known as Spaces.app) is a rogue adware-type application that promotes the searchbaron.com fake search engine. This application monitors web browsing activity and redirects users to searchbaron.com when they enter a search query. Spaces usually infiltrates computers without users' consent.
After successful infiltration, Spaces continually monitors browsing activity and waits for a search query to be entered. Once entered, the user is redirected to searchbaron.com. Most rogue applications that promote fake search engines modify browser options, however, this is not the case with Spaces, which does not perform any changes - it stealthily runs in the background and waits for users' actions. In addition, adware-type applications are likely to deliver intrusive advertisements and record data. Coupons, banners, pop-ups, and other similar ads usually redirect to dubious websites and can even execute scripts that download/install other unwanted applications. Therefore, even a single accidental click might result in various computer infections. Collected data (IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.) often includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse private data to generate revenue. Therefore, having a, unwanted applications attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install, however, these programs typically have one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than enabling the functions promised, unwanted applications cause redirects, gather information, and deliver ads, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience and posing a significant threat to your privacy/computer safety.
How did Spaces install on my computer?
As mentioned above, Spaces typically infiltrates computers without users' consent, since developers proliferate these apps using intrusive advertisements, the 'bundling' method, and fake software updaters and 'cracks'. 'Bundling' is essentially stealth installation of third party programs with regular software/apps. Developers hide 'bundled' apps behind 'Custom/Advanced' settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Furthermore, many users often rush these procedures and skip steps. Therefore, all 'bundled' apps are concealed behind 'Custom/Advanced' settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Fake downloaders/installers infect computers by exploiting outdated software bugs/flaws or simply downloading and installing malware rather than updates. In any case, the main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge of these threats and careless behavior.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the internet and downloading/installing/updating software. Bear in mind that intrusive advertisements usually seem legitimate. Once clicked, however, they redirect to dubious websites (gambling, pornography, adult dating, and similar). If you experience these ads/redirects, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. Never download software 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. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue apps, and thus these tools should never be used. Software should be updated using implemented functions or tools provided by the official developer. The key to computer safety is caution. If your computer is already infected with Spaces, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate this adware.
