How Home.searchpulse.net gets on your Mac?

Home.searchpulse.net browser hijacker might get installed together with some free program: many freeware installers will try to install several PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), including a browser hijacker or two, in addition to the program they were supposed to install. In that case, users can usually decline the installation of extra programs if they are careful to read through everything on the installation screens and uncheck any checkboxes with captions like “I want to set This Search Engine as my default search engine”. Other times, users might install pirated software or fall for social engineering tricks and install a trojan (which is a malicious program disguised as something useful). That trojan usually installs a bunch of other malware or adware onto a computer, some of which may change browser settings like a default search engine.
