onyx or mackeeper

Right about staying AWAY from Mackeeper!

Plus, I would never buy from a company that uses the pop under ads like they do (of course, I guess the hosting site is also guilty for allowing this...).

MacKeeper is hereby relegated to the pile otherwise reserved for salt, sugar, Mc Donald's Double Cheeseburgers, whole milk and processed cheese food.

Mackeeper is Russian spam.

I still use the last free version of MainMenu which still works under Lion.

MacKeeper, a rather slimy tale
Posted by Daniel Feeney on June 17, 2011

Our MacKeeper review has gathered countless stories in its comments section, nearly all of which speak of how “terrible,” “bad,” and “awful” the software, as well as the company behind it, ZeoBIT, really is. Having read all the comments and speaking to a few people familiar with the matter, I have decided to shed some light on MacKeeper.

The first area I would like to address is the “fake” websites and misleading advertisements that are floating around the internet promoting MacKeeper and attacking its competitors (Example 1, 2). If one were to Google “MacKeeper review,” the results which appear are vastly “fake” websites setup solely to promote MacKeeper and discredit its competitors including CleanMyMac, MacCleanse, and Cocktail. To anyone unfamiliar with Macs, these websites appear to be trustworthy and legit which, in the end, leads many to pull the trigger on software without really considering all the options –this alone is a bit troubling. Further, the keywords these sites use include “MacCleanse,” “Clean My Mac,” “Cocktail,” and many of its other competitors names.
