What is NanoAccess?

You have malware on your device if you suddenly spotted a magnifying glass icon called NanoAccess under Applications. This program hijacks the settings of Safari, Google Chrome, or Mozilla, forcing the user to do all searches through a new custom search engine. Furthermore, if you wish to modify the settings manually, it reassigns them all. Manually removing the NanoAccess software by dragging it to the trash is not a solution since the virus might reinstall itself. This software is simply intended to increase advertising income by pushing third-party items. It will inundate your system with a plethora of advertising (pop-ups, video/audio commercials, coupons, greatest offers, and so on), as well as continual redirection to affiliate websites. This type of activity not only slows down your browser but also puts your system at danger because there is no assurance that the URLs given by this PUP are secure. The only method to get rid of it is to uninstall NanoAccess altogether from your device.
