In most cases, it is propagated through free downloads of freeware or shareware, junk mails, fake updates and dubious websites. The main target of MacMin is to generate pay-per-click revenue, so it will play tricks to allure you to click on those ads or links.
When installed, MacMin will start to display lots of sponsored
commercial ads or links in the boxes of “Brought to you by MacMin”, which
often appear on the right side of your visiting websites. If you close them,
next tap you open they can popup automatically. Then, it may run in the
background of your system and consume lots of system resources to slow down the
