    Don't download mackeeper!

    1st: when you get the pop-ups, they will get worse over time. I heard from other people they even could'nt open their Safari anymore. The problem with mackeeper pop-ups is that they you can't view a website before you press some buttons of them (wich leeds to problems) and that they aren't pop-ups from the site you're viewing (so the site you're viewing don't get paid for it).

     

    To avoid this pop-ups: download glimmerblocker!

    Really search on internet if you can trust it (I also did), but you'll see it's safe. Really great software. Since I downloaded it, and put it on, I never got these problems anymore!

     

    I never downoaded mackeeper but still the pop-up would show up more frequntly over time, really frustrating.

     

    2nd: When you download it, you got some serious problems. It isn't good software at all. It slows your mac to a new level. I don't know what to do  in this case.

    MacKeeper is highly invasive malware that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also a rip-off.
