Oct 23, 2014 1:26 AM in response to ckuanby Aussienana,OK, so I went and explored what this site said about Mackeeper. But before I delete it can you tell me:
If we don't need anti virus program and if the one that came with the machine is supposed to do the job then what does that say about the viruses that Mackeeper says it found? Were they not there and the program made them up? Or were they there and Apple didn't deal with them?
Thanks for all feedback.

They were not there and MacKeeper made them up. Delete it completely. I have seen it cripple people's Macs.
