The memory cleaner function on MacKeeper frees up disk space in seconds by removing unnecessary junk from the system. According to MacKeeper, the average Mac has as much as 7.5GB of useless files that can be safely ditched without causing harm to the system. I like the way that MacKeeper can also check passwords and compare them to a list of passwords compromised in leaks and then warns the user which ones need changing.Īlso built into MacKeeper is a VPN that keeps a Mac’s internet connection safe from potential threats, secures online transactions, hides activity from ISPs and all the other useful stuff that VPNs can do, such as spoofing an IP address so the user can log into television programs in another country that might normally be geo-restricted. Mark SparrowĪnother important feature is a real-time antivirus that runs 24/7 without slowing down the Mac that MacKeeper is installed on. The antivirus module scans the Mac and keeps it safe from viruses and malware. The Adware cleaner also runs 24/7 and can remove advertising software that might cause unwanted ads to run. A scan of a Mac with MacKeeper will show where the problems are and the improvements that can be.
