Any security measure tends to be attacked.
How about Surfshark?
Ping!..................
MacKeeper is not designed to be anti malware. Saying that it is designed as anti malware is admitting to allowing it to install on your computer you moron. It has always been malware. It masquerades as ant malware to coax you to install it but it doesn’t do anything good. I don’t see it that much anyway supporting about 2000 mac users/machines in my organization. That means the writer is a really moronic moron.
Sounds like Dr Fubar and the CDC
Never heard of it
MacKeeper does not offer any services other than as a trojan horse distribution system for other malware. The writer is making **** up.
I can be like speedyintexas and netmilmom and reply to my own posts.
It's known to be malware. Fox is apparently just getting around to learning this.
This issue is virtually the same as the VPN dilemma. Without a VPN you don’t know who might be tracking your internet movements. With a VPN you allow only one entity to track your internet movements. However, do you know that your VPN provider is not using your internet interactions against you?
Always assume that someone is watching.
NOT POSSIBLE - Only Windows has malware, at least according to Apple idiolizers.
All I know is I have been using Macs for over 15 years without a single incident. I had plenty of issues with my Windows machines.
MacKeeper’s still around? And people just now learning it’s a scam?

All true and well known for, what, like 10 years?
The best anti virus is a protocol called “ if you don’t know where it’s from or what it does without someone else explaining it to you, Do Not Open.”
Delete is a useful function.
