What Is Assistive Console?
Assistive Console is a browser hijacker that may get installed on a Mac together with a free program, cracked software or with a file downloaded from a shady source. Assistive Console changes the default search engine on browsers to a website which will redirect all searches to Yahoo or Bing. If a user tries to alter the search engine him or herself, the browser will claim that “Assistive Console is controlling this setting”. This step-by-step guide describes how you can remove Assistive Console from your Mac and restore your preferred search engine.
