ZeoBIT has purchased a very similar domain – – and has posted a “review” of ClamXav there.

There is a free, and quite excellent, anti-virus program for the Mac called ClamXav. One of the features of MacKeeper is anti-virus protection. ZeoBIT has also, however, done something that shows conclusively that they have no ethics. (That’s not particularly believable, given the sophistication of their web site.) This is not particularly conclusive evidence of their lack of ethics, as it could simply be due to ignorance. Due to the extreme unpopularity of such advertising techniques, no reputable companies are currently using pop-ups. MacKeeper is frequently advertised using pop-up (or pop-under) windows, on a variety of web sites, that seem to be able to get past Safari’s pop-up blocking feature. My reasons for saying that are twofold.įirst, the company that makes MacKeeper (ZeoBIT LLC) has demonstrated some extremely unethical behavior. But that’s not why I recommend that all Mac users avoid it. I certainly do not find MacKeeper at all appealing. That said, MacKeeper does not fall into the same category of misunderstood software.

In part because of this, I understand that software is not worthless just because I don’t find it useful. Many of those who did not suffer from such problems did not understand the point of the software, and I got a lot of e-mail ridiculing my software as stupid. My main product at one point was a program that was designed to force the user to take periodic breaks, as a means for assisting with the prevention of repetitive stress injuries. Despite the fact that this software is not technically malware, though, Mac users should be alerted that it is not quite legitimate, either.Īs a former shareware developer, I do not throw such an accusation around lightly. I am leaving this article in place mainly for historical record.ĭuring the MacDefender outbreak earlier this summer, there were many programs with similar names that were confused with variants of that malware.

(Although it’s hard to tell, since still redirects to half a year later.) It’s anyone’s guess where MacKeeper will go from here, though I still believe that most of Mackeeper’s functions are either unnecessary or could be done better by free software. Most notably, since it was written, Zeobit has sold MacKeeper to Kromtech. August 26th, 2011 at 4:13 PM EDT, modified
