Q: is this the same as MacKeeper with the spiraling color wheel that says you need to clean your Mac?
I keep receiving pop ups with a circular colored spinning wheel advising to click on to clean my Mac from items causing it to slow down. It also displays the symbol of The Finder and a world globe. Throughout my using the macbook I occassionally am slowed down by this spinning wheel , but it goes away on its own only to later appear in a pop up advising to clean my computer using this system. It appears to be ligitimate Apple logos and endorsement but it doesn't seem right. I am not computer saavy and this just smacks of a program that Apple might have as part of its files to keep the Mac clean, but it also keeps popping up at inopportune times. Anyone else have this and is it a product Apple has preloaded into the macbook or is it a phishing scam? Thanks for your input and insight.
