MacKeeper is a comprehensive application designed to protect your computer and improve your Mac performance.
The interface is clear-cut and highly intuitive. The left panel displays the program's functions, conveniently organized into four sections. Once a feature is selected, you are provided with detailed information about its meaning, so that you can learn, at a glance, the relevance of using that option.
The first module provides an overall insight of your system status and gives you a report with the list of issues you need to fix. These issues refer to computer security, junk files, and outdated applications. If you need assistance in cleaning your computer, keeping the system secured, and boosting the computer performance, you will find the second section to be of great help. You have the advantage to chat with a real human expert, always ready to answer all your questions. The remote expert will analyze your Mac condition and will offer to fix the problems.
Navigating the Internet exposes your computer to various threats. The third module is meant to help you browse the Internet securely, blocking access to malicious websites. In addition, it offers an anti-virus protection that will make your computer immune to viruses, Trojan horses, and malware programs. Another smart feature refers to anti-theft protection – once enabled, it will track your Mac in case it gets lost or stolen, while informing you about its location and offering to take a snapshot of the thief.
The last section is the most consistent of all, as it includes various tasks related to system maintenance. Therefore, you have the ability to find duplicate files and delete them in order to recover disk space. In addition, you can uninstall applications fully, leftovers included. The tool lets you recover deleted files, make specific files and folders invisible (though still accessible from within the application), as well as browse for files faster, based on smart file filters. Furthermore, the utility allows you to monitor disk usage, select which programs should open automatically at system log-in, track available updates, clean junk files, back up data, delete files permanently and beyond recovery, and set default applications to open specific file types.
In conclusion, MacKeeper offers a complete solution to make your system efficient, healthy, and reliable. The range of features provided is extensive, while the online presence of a real human assistant adds value to the application.

Many users experience poor system performance with this app and try to uninstall it nearly impossible due to scattering across the OS.
Guest, hello!Thank you for your feedback! I am Vicky, a Community Manager from MacKeeper.Yes, we had problems with users' poor system performance and uninstall of MacKeeper in the past. But since 2018 MacKeeper has worked tirelessly to improve all of the issues our customers were facing. We proved that MacKeeper is safe and shows great performance by receiving top industry certifications: Apple Notarization, AppEsteem Certification and AV-test certification. All of these prove that whenever you’re using the app, you can be confident that the app you use is acknowledged to be safe, and so is your data. It’s an official confirmation of the app’s legitimacy, which matches the highest industry quality standards.As for the uninstall issue — we fixed this problem a while ago. Any MK user can uninstall MK by simply moving it into ‘trash’.Moreover, MacKeeper can uninstall itself safely if the user decides so :) Without leaving any files in the system. To do so you can go to MacKeeper's Smart Uninstaller => choose 'Applications' where MacKeeper allows to safely uninstall any app that user wants => and choose to remove MacKeeper.I hope you try MacKeeper once again and see for yourself how great of a product we are now :)
My knowledge regarding computers, viruses, security, etc. is quite basic, all technicians were not only patient with my questions but also explained every step of the process in terms of which I could understand. The entire process actually took the technician less time than I was told to expect. I have already recommended this product/service to family members. Thanks!
I have been pleased with MacKeeper, it is concise and easy-to-use.
