I suggest finding other alternatives to mackeeper that doesnt spamvertise your mac after your subscription expires and gives your a headach just to unistall it. It also injects this malware called turbomac, it pops up on chrome and safari and can bypass adblockers. The turbomac problem was solved after i got rid of mackeeper on my mac. If you want to, you may go ahead and pay for the unnecessary features without ads, but overall i jest dont recommend it, seems untrustable.

Surprised with such a big amount of haters here. I purchased 1 year plan, here is my first impressions:
Cons
- what is most annoying - you can't hide chat bar, and customer support "very strive to help you" inside the app from the first launch.
- pricy subscriprion
- u can't disable mackeeper app from login items
- stopad extension not available for Firefox
I don't have any issues with annoying popups. In the latest macOS you can allow or disallow notifications for any installed app, so I disabled notifications in macOS for Mackeeper.
Pros
- I asked support in a chat which antivirus mackeeper used, here is the answer "MacKeeper uses Avira's Secure Anti-Virus API (SAVAPI), the official interface for Avira’s anti-malware scanning en...Show More

I Hate this software.
Mac User
It's so annoying that i cannot use it anymore. Million times every day is poping up stupid question if i want to do this and that. Its just rubish. And another thing i don't understand is why we have option to choose subscription 1 month or 1 year if they are charging automaticly once month expired. If i choose 1month subscription that mens i want subscription for one month only!!!! and not even hour more.
All in all, try to go with other softwares...because this one is really with covid-19

Nice app
Mac User
Very useful app! I love Duplicates Finder as I'm a photographer and have a lot of photocopies on the Mac. Also, VPN is really helpful. I'd prefer to pay less but usually wait for their sales and buy a subscription with a discount.
Cool app
Windows User
Cool app, especially VPN feature. I checked it with the speed test and the result is good. I wish they have mobile app too.
Satisfied
Mac User
I like that MacKeeper has a lot of features so I don't need to buy them separately. My Mac performance improved and I'm super satisfied
Good app
Mac User
Pretty good app. I requested help in chat and got it. I don't like their offers for extra services, but like the app.
I like StopAd
Mac User
StopAd feature is great! I've bought a new license for parent's Macs and they are also satisfied.
Super app!

It covers all my needs. To be honest - I tried MacKeeper few years ago and wasn't so exited. After this review I decided to give it a second chance and I'm surprised how everything has been changed. Everything works as good as possible, I'm happy with MacKeeper. Now I can recommend it to everyone.
