Remove ProductArchive
The ProductArchive software for Mac is not dangerous, but it could cause some annoying and intrusive changes. The application will take over your Web browser, and apply changes to the default new tab page and search service you use. You might be unable to undo these changes, because ProductArchive will prevent you from doing so. The only way to resolve the issue permanently is to make sure to remove ProductArchive fully.
How is ProductArchive Installed?
Mac PUPs are not that uncommon nowadays. Potentially Unwanted Programs should be removed by using an up-to-date security tool for Macs. This will ensure that all files are gone for good, and that they will be unable to continue tampering with your system.
It is likely that you installed ProductArchive by accident. Often, this happens when interacting with downloads from unreliable sources – such as torrent trackers. It is also possible for ProductArchive to arrive bundled with free apps. Make sure to follow the instructions of fresh installers, and decline offers to install 3rd-party tools.
The ProductArchive PUP focuses on replacing your browser's default new tab page and search aggregator. These redirects are not harmful either, but they ruin your Web browsing experience. The search results they deliver are often of terrible quality, and they might include additional pop-ups, ads, and sponsored results.
