Has MacUpdate fallen to the adware plague?

It's not good news for Mac users if it has. A report from Malwarebytes Unpacked:

Has MacUpdate fallen to the adware plague?

One of the things it says in the article about the MacUpdate Installer is

Quote:

...Sure enough, when running this installer, it will display a license agreement that the user is likely to click right past, giving the installer the right to change the browser’s settings and install a “Search-Assist” browser extension... This is behavior exhibited by many adware installers these days, and this particular license agreement is identical to the ones being used by the InstallCore adware. And sure enough, once the installer is finished, an InstallCore browser extension ends up installed in Safari...

Sounds familiar!
