Any Search Manager is typically categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA) or adware. No matter which labeling is the most accurate, this app is malicious and doesn’t belong inside your Mac for a few strong reasons. First off, it is installed by means of shady techniques which are a no-go for benign software. For instance, one of the common spreading vectors involves fake Adobe Flash Player update popups displayed on sketchy or hacked websites. App bundling is another infection method, where Mac users authorize the unwanted installation while thinking that they are only installing one harmless piece of freeware. One more reason to stay away from AnySearchManager is that it changes your web browsing settings once the attack occurs. By replacing the default configuration values, it redirects your preferred browser to search.anysearchmanager.com or other affiliated landing page. The fact that these changes are made without your awareness and consent is a telltale sign of virus interference.
