never subscribe to this company
Mac User
Detailed user review regarding mac keeper: first the software is useless, second they suck every data from your computer and take control of it, third it slows down your computer, fourth they keep on charging you with subscription once you have cancelled subscription, last but not least they keep record of all your data including credit card and the only way to stop them is to renew your credit card ! At last they instal many programs everywhere on your computer so that when you want to get rid of them, you simply can't. Never subscribe to this product.

Hi Odile!
We don't suck any data from your computer and of course, we don't have control of it. What makes you think that?
Also, you are protected with our EULA and Refund Policy, you can easily find them on the mackeeper.com. ...Show More

Agreed - Its a SCAM
Mac User
Have been a Premium customer for a few years now without a problem.
Talking to MacKeeper about the big jump in annual subscription and did agreeing to pay the fee again in November after real heavy marketing push and online system check. Since then my Mac has slowed down and is now a brick so what ever they did was done to system behind the senses to force me to get it remotely repaired at some astronomical fee they wanted to change me. Lucky I terminated the call and connection but as I say since then my Mac has become a brick.

This company spams people, creates unnecessary popups several time sand hour 24/7, invades your viewing and is the biggest SCAM on the internet. Absolute crap marketing, messaging, pressure and performance. I switched and have never been better off. DO NOT USE MACKEEPER!!!!!!!

Ditto his story $195 in June. Fix lasted 3 weeks. Came back in August even worse. You guys serviced it again but charged a membership. Worked for a couple of days. Now back to useless. Told by your pop up it was serviced 3 weeks ...Show More

They have been charging me for 2 years with my knowledge. I thought I cancelled it after my trial, but it wasn't. I admit, I should have been looking a my credit card statements.......Beware!

Hi Tim! I'm sorry to hear that. I understand how it can be frustrating to receive a charge that you weren’t expecting, especially when you haven’t used the tool. Everyone’s been here: you sign up for something, and you’re so focus...Show More
