Dear WAMUG’gers, I totally agree with the negative comments on this insidious software called Mac Keeper. Many years back I made the mistake of installing this product on my Mac and quickly found out it was useless for me anyway.
The problem I encountered was in removing it entirely from my system. It was not so easy, and if my memory serves me well it would have been either Daniel, Ronni or Peter H who provided the necessary steps. This darn thing is advertised every where and even on otherwise excellent Mac websites, and this promotes the idea of a reliable product and that’s how I got conned! Keep alert and safe!
