Remove SageFine (Mac OS X) virus

If you see unwanted ads, popups, and notifications from SageFine, your Mac is infected with adware. SageFine is adware for Mac.

SageFine changes setting on your Mac. First, SageFine installs a browser extension in your browser. Then, after SageFine hijacks your browser, it modifies the settings in the browser. For example, it changes the default home page, modifies search results, and displays unwanted pop-ups in your browser.

Because SageFine is adware, many unwanted pop-ups will be displayed in the browser. In addition, the SageFine adware will redirect the browser to rogue websites and websites that try to trick you into installing even more malware on your Mac. You must never click on ads that you do not know how they were created or that you do not recognize.
