MacKeeper
open-in-new
<p>MacKeeper is a utility software for macOS that offers security, privacy, and performance optimization features. MacKeeper was first released in 2010, developed by <a href="/facts/Zeobit/w9pLaYFk">ZeoBIT</a>, later acquired by <a href="/facts/Kromtech/SYgyUPKT">Kromtech</a>, and is currently owned by <a href="/facts/Clario_Tech/pB4SRDo5">Clario Tech</a>, a security software development company. </p><p>MacKeeper had a troubled and litigious history under previous ownership. Zeobit settled a class action lawsuit over deceptive advertising and misleading claims, and Kromtech unsuccessfully sued MacKeeper critics. Some versions were difficult to uninstall, and flagged as undesirable by antivirus programs. </p>
