Adload is a highly common macOS adware variant that has historically made its way onto systems by disguising itself as legitimate software designed to help your computer. Adload variants are often signed with a legitimate developer certificate and dropped by distributed malware droppers such as the Shlayer malware dropper. First detected in 2017, Adload has a history of adapting in order to evade detection and continues infecting computers most notably by pretending to be a Flash Player Installer required to watch content on a website that might play videos.
