MacKeeper

I just got an email saying my MacKeeper auto renewal is turned off. I can’t find any info on what MacKeeper is. Is it part of my macOS Catalina system or it an outside software company trying to sell me something?

Is Premium Techie Support a scam? Hi, I've seen a post in the past about this company called Premium Techie Support. A while back my mac was experiencing pop ups and a bad virus (somehow). I got in touch with this company (somehow... now that I come to think of it, it was a software pop up on my laptop). They made me pay $500 to "get my laptop back up and running". They also requested a monthly payment, but I got out of that. It was $500 for lifetime support. Now Im getting an email from them saying my membership will expire December 11th. I honestly can't tell if this was all a scam or not. Especially because their website is glitchy wont allow me to put in my phone number so that they can call me back. Any tips???

There aren't any because none are needed.

Never install any app that claims to "tune up", "speed up" or "clean up" your Mac. These apps exist for one reason: to separate the unwary and inexperienced user from their hard-earned money. At best they do very little, at worst, they can damage your OS installation and cause far more problems than they "solve".

It's 3rd party junkware. Avoid.

I got it because I somehow mistook it for MacPaw (Clean my Mac). Avoid it, it is complete trash.

You don't want MacPaw (Clean my Mac) either.

It is a phishing email hoping to lure you into downloading and installing MacKeeper. Do not get fooled into doing it.
