How to remove LookupTool from Mac?

What is LookupTool?

Commonly distributed through fake Adobe Flash Player updates, LookupTool is a rogue application. It operates as adware by running intrusive advertisement campaigns. Additionally, it has browser hijacker qualities, such as browser setting modification and fake search engine promotion. Most adwares and browser hijackers possess data tracking abilities, which are employed to spy on users' browsing activity; hence, it is highly likely that LookupTool has them as well. Due to this app's dubious proliferation methods, it is classified as a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application). Users should note that illegitimate software updaters/installers are often used to proliferate various PUAs and even malware (e.g. trojans, ransomware, etc.).
