It fixed my issue
Mac User
I had a search engine installed on my computer that I didn't know about and it was locked and could not be uninstalled. After installing MacKeeper it was easily fixed with the help of a tech. Competent and nice to deal with staff. I did do the job why I purchased the system. The price is a little too high but I believe, so far, it was a reasonable value for the money.

Very good service
Mac User
With this company, my experiences have always been positive. When the technician does not know what to do, he found out without prompting. I was so happy that the technician managed to get my mobile phone and computer in harmony for one of my chat groups. The mobile phone faces are much too small. I like to see the full picture. Many thanks...That's true customer service!

Like its new design
Mac User
I’ve used it a couple of years ago, so I was a bit skeptical downloading it again but it seems to improve a lot. Overall experience is nice, I find it very interesting how they rebranded the app and played with the features. There are less of them right now if you compare it with much older versions but I feel they perform better for me. New design is simpler and they added stuff like VPN and Stop AD to the standard subscription package so it is a bang for the buck for me. Keep up the good work, so far I am pleased.

good changes
Mac User
I've been using mackeeper for a long time and have noticed that the program has improved its performance. I'm glad they fixed the issues with their realtime protection, I was very worried that I had to install it again and again after every update. Also, the performance of the computer has improved significantly, it began to work much faster. I am not worried about what I download from the internet, as the program catches all malicious programs at once. Thanks to the developers.

Best tool for Mac!
Mac User
I have been using MacKeeper ever since I heard of it. It is the best thing I have ever done. I have a brand new and an old Mac and use it on both. It keeps them running smoothly and maintains their performance at their best capacity. The support team and technical services are just fantastic. Customer-focused and always look at how to help you solve or answer your questions in constructive ways. Not that there has been many, but each time I didn't know how to do something, they helped me within less than 5 minutes, most of the time 2 min max. from the user end, based on customer service and value for money 10* doesn't give it justice. It's just brilliant!

many useful features
Mac User
I love this app because it is easy to set up and can be left to do its job in the background. I think it might be cheaper, even though the app contains many useful features in one package. I discovered bonus features for security and privacy - StopAd ad blocker extension in Chrome and Safari. It also includes an adware cleaner separate from antivirus. And the security and privacy bonuses don't end there. I can defently recommend it to others.

Quick Adware Solve and Beyond
Mac User
I downloaded this because my wife's MacBook had adware issues. It quickly diagnosed and solved that issue. But what was more remarked than the user interface and simplicity was the customer service provided via live chat to help fix a couple of data breaches I was affected by. Exceptional Antivirus and great VPN. I love being able to watch Netflix content only available in other territories.

David, thanks for the feedback! I also enjoy watching Netflix with our VPN.

Good app
Mac User
I am not very computer savvy, but chatting with a representative helped me to understand the process. The final report was very informative. The rep was very patient and helpful. In general, I am satisfied with the performance of my Mac. Antivirus alerts me if the file is infected before I want to open something. Also, it has an in-built VPN. A lot of thanks

Tried 7-day trial and liked it
Mac User
I wasn't aware of a few things regarding the threats found while scanning my device so I asked for some advice. The representative was patient and had answered all questions with politeness and was able to help me with the problem. The app works wonderfully but it's a pity that it is only available for subscribers. Luckily, non-subscribers are still able to try the app out during the 7-day trials!

Not bad app
Mac User
Mackeeper is a great program that I have been using for a long time. I search the Internet for everything I need without any problems. There are no viruses, malware or data leaks. Although it was frustrating for me to deal with an ad request. This is what I don't like about this service. When I work, I don't have time to consider proposals. I would prefer to receive them by email when I can properly review them. Everything else is in order.
