MacKeeper is horrible malware that causes a "virus warning" to pop up in your browser that freezes the functionality of your computer until you force quit the browser several times. I'm STILL trying to get rid of it! You are misrepresenting your product and I can't imagine what you are gaining from hijacking peoples computers like this other than an evil twisted chuckle. Why don't you show some good will towards the "legitimacy" of your product and tell us how to stop this annoying malicious virus addware that all of sudden started popping up AFTER we did the free (except for the major headache of this software) download? I have deleted it from my system (which was a headache as well) and now I'm getting this popup which I NEVER got before this bogus mackeeper program.
no i did it and it costs so much money and the free trial stinks
i am so 😠at it

Do Not Install MacKeeper .. Do Not Install MacKeeper .. Do Not Install MacKeeper ..
What version of OS X are you running?

I got mackeeper to try it and it works just fine for me. I don't find much use for it though. It basically just sits there.
Try removing it.
"It just sits there"
Maybe that's why it hasn't had any undesirable effects. USING it may not work "just fine."
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT INSTALL. This is unnecessary and the company seems more interesting in sending unsolicitied SPAM than anything else.
Here I always thought their primary interest was lining their pockets with gold.😮

I stand corrected LoL. I am just annoyed about the volume of email from these id10ts lately.
How else are they going to line their pockets with gold. Their product is worthless.👿

I was conned into buying Mackeeper last year and I can attest, it is total and complete crap. It actually slows down your system due to the extra crapware it installs. STAY FAR FAR AWAY....
I don't know why MacKeeper has such an army of enemies. I downloaded it months ago and use it frequently to removed unneeded files. All i can say is it works for me.

And you signed up for this forum only to tell us that? Certainly believable.
Thomas, may I assume that this was the free version - you wouldn't waste your money it in, would you? ;)
I may do some testing later on myself if so.
I had similar results to Thomas with the demo version on a clean install of Mountain Lion some three or four months ago.
