What is FractionCommand?

FractionCommand is a possibly undesirable program that may have been installed without your knowledge on your Mac. It generally infiltrates users’ machines in conjunction with freeware apps. FractionCommand is used by developers for link marketing and advertising. It will bombard your system with advertisements (pop-ups, video/audio adverts, coupons, greatest bargains, and so on), as well as continual redirection to affiliate websites. As a result, the chances of arriving on a malicious website are great because there is no guarantee that all URLs offered by this PUP are secure. Furthermore, it may substitute a fictitious search provider for the browser’s principal search provider in order to offer consumers with skewed results. The only way to avoid this is to delete the FractionCommand adware from your device.
