Clean My Mac is of the same sort of garbage as MacKeeper.


Horribly horrible, unnecessary junk.


Just a few days ago a Mac was brought to me because it was performing very poorly. The instant I removed Clean My Mac the system came back to life. That is but on example of what Clean My Mac and MacKeeper can do to an otherwise healthy system.

Refunds are best obtained through the Credit Card Processor, rather than by writing to the "scammer" company. Back in my PC days, I bought a similar piece of scam software that was "guaranteed" but every time I wrote to the company - with each request more direct that all I wanted was a refund - I got back a platitude about how great the software was and why wasn' I happy. One request to the biller and I got my refund. If the biller won't help or if you can't find out/remember who it is, ask your Credit Card issuer to do a chargeback. You will have to sign an affidavit that the software was not "as advertised" and of no value, but it should work. However, biller's hate chargebacks. They will probably help.

May be best to stay away from anything that says it will cleanup or fix your computer, pc or mac.

Backup and manually clean up programs as you go along and save yourself a lot of trouble.

When things get downright miserable, then reformat drive and install os. then transfer your info back.

The only utility that I have found to be slightly useful is appzapper.

Even it may not rid you of all unwanted files.

Rule # 1 - do not install all the free stuff in the first place.

PC's come with loads of free stuff, a pile of crud. that's why they have to try to give it away at first.

This includes all the antivirus suites etc.

Only good free stuff is distributed by true open source developers. Not by software companies.
