i think my mac book pro has a bug, and i had a popup called mackeeper that says it can clean up my mac, is it safe to download the mac keeper?
MacBook Pro
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.
I suggest that you peruse this forum for problems with Ccleaner, you are lucky not to have had any.
I'll give that a go csound. I have recently bought an external harddrive and backed everything up using time machine, so if anything goes wrong at least I can reboot
Thanks Thomas, I think my evening has been decided for me!
Paid shill.

Are they being paid to say it?
Almost certainly.
Thanks everyone for your replies concerning removal of Mackeeper. I feel a great deal happier doing my own thing rather than using Mackeeper.
I have this problem it has not installed it as far as I can see. But, I have unbelievable pop ups and I don't know how to fix it. HELP please.
I heard that clamXav is a really good antivirus that you can get on the AppStore or download from the website and
ITs free 🙂
NO!, in my opinion it is worse than any virus out there (taking ebola and HIV into consideration)
That's what I thought I was doing. I fell hook, line and sinker. I can't tell you how miserable I feel! I thought I was doing a good thing and now many years of my families life is gone.
Amen
