What is Chrome 'Managed by your organization'?

'Managed by your organization' is an entry that can be found in Google Chrome's main menu. It is a legitimate Google Chrome feature that allows organization administrators to manage various Chrome browser settings for users within their organization. Essentially, 'Managed by your organization' indicates that one or more policies are set in Chrome and it is being managed by a group, organization, etc. In fact, Chrome users who are not part of any organization see the 'Managed by your organization' item in their browser settings. This usually occurs when a potentially unwanted application (PUA), a browser hijacker, or even malicious program is installed on the Chrome browser and sets certain policies that control how the browser operates.

This Chrome policies management feature can be used by organizations to set an address of a homepage, prevent users/members from printing, block them from accessing certain websites, installing various extensions, and so on. There are hundreds of policies that administrators can set and use to control how the Chrome browser functions. Unfortunately, many browser hijackers, other PUAs, and malicious programs can also manage/set the policies. Typically, browser hijackers are designed to promote various fake search engines by changing browser settings such as the address of the default search engine, homepage and new tab. Therefore, users are forced to visit the address of a fake search engine when they open a browser, new tab or enter search queries into the URL bar. In most cases, this can be undone by uninstalling the PUA, however, if a browser hijacker caused the appearance of the 'Managed by your organization' item, it may be more difficult to resolve the problem and undo the changes made. Instructions about how to fix this problem are provided below.

Some examples of browser hijackers are NiceTab StartPage, SearchMine and MacAppExtensions. Typically, these apps force users to visit and use fake search engines. Most PUAs also operate as information tracking tools. They gather various details relating to users' browsing habits such as IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited pages, etc. In some cases, they target sensitive, personal information as well. Developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it in other ways. In summary, apps of this type deliver no real value or features and can cause problems such as identity theft, issues with browsing safety, privacy, and so on.

How were unwanted apps that caused the appearance of 'Managed by your organization' installed on my computer?

Typically, people download and install PUAs unintentionally when they click deceptive advertisements, which cause downloads/installations by running certain scripts, or when they download or install software that contains unwanted apps included in the setups. This latter distribution method is called 'bundling'. Developers use it to trick people into downloading and installing PUAs with regular software. Typically, information about additionally-included apps can be found in 'Custom', 'Advanced' and other similar settings of the set-ups, however, people often leave these settings unchecked and unchanged, thereby allowing PUAs to be downloaded and installed with regular software.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not use various third party downloaders/installers, unofficial websites, various Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule) or other similar channels to download software. The safest way to download is using official, trustworthy websites and direct download links. Check all download/installation setups and decline offers to download or install unwanted, additionally-included programs. Do not click intrusive ads that are displayed on dubious web pages - they can redirect to untrusted websites or cause download/installation of unwanted apps. If you believe that PUAs might be installed on the browser, check all extensions, plug-ins and add-ons on the browser and remove all unwanted, suspicious entries immediately. Also remove programs of this kind that are installed on the computer/operating system. If your computer is already infected with browser hijackers, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
