There are several aspects that make Searchsnow removal different from a commonplace software uninstall process on a Mac. Unlike benign applications, this PUA has a deeper footprint in a system, which is understandable because it needs to survive regular cleanup to be up and running for as long as possible. Therefore, before spotting and trashing the components of Searchsnow sprinkled around a Mac, you should terminate its executable so that it doesn’t throw a spanner in the works. Go to Utilities, select Activity Monitor, try to identify a malicious process used by this threat, and force quit it. Next, use the “Go to Folder” feature to open the following paths one by one: ~/Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, and ~/Library/Application Support. Go over their contents and delete entries that seem out of place. When done, go to Applications and remove a recently added app you don’t remember giving the green light to be installed. Proceed to System Preferences, open Users & Groups, hit the Login Items tab, and purge the unwanted app from the list. Also, head to Profiles (if listed on the System Preferences screen) and eliminate the fraudulent configuration management entry. The final step is to get rid of the most prominent symptom, that is to say, the browser-level impact of Searchsnow. To stop it from redirecting the browser, your best bet is to delete the caches, history, and cookie data stored by websites. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox provide a one-click feature to do it. In Safari, you will have to clean up each area manually. The article above describes the whole process in detail while providing relevant illustrations.
