Here, you can perform a full system scan to detect any malicious files or malware on your Mac. MacKeeper’s integrated antivirus scanner can be found at the top of the app dashboard, under Security. MacKeeper Security Features Antivirus Scanner MacKeeper offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on its annual plans (or 14-days on its monthly plan), so you can try it risk-free before committing long term. MacKeeper is not the cheapest product on the market by any means, but it’s definitely a solid option if you’re looking for a simple but quality antivirus for your Mac that also comes with some handy extras. That said, MacKeeper is extremely easy to both set up and to use, its anti-malware protection is almost perfect, and its VPN is one of the best I’ve seen as an antivirus add-on. It also lacks security tools such as a firewall and parental controls, which other Mac-focused antivirus products, such as Intego, do include.
While MacKeeper is a good antivirus program that comes with a lot of useful features that work well, it’s missing some important features - it doesn’t offer any anti-phishing protection, which I would consider an essential security feature these days.
ID theft protection (email monitoring).Its antivirus engine is very good at detecting malware, and its real-time protection ensures your device is always protected from new threats - during my tests, MacKeeper was able to detect 99% of the malware samples in my testing, which is comparable to some of the best macOS antiviruses on the market, like Intego, McAfee, and Norton. This is especially the case when that latest version of CCleaner has data collection options enabled by default (see the section below).MacKeeper offers a range of security, privacy, and tune-up features for Macs, all inside a simple and very user-friendly interface. It's a bit ironic to claim that going into a user's system without their permission and making changes is a move based on privacy and transparency. "Since the release of v5.46 we have updated some users to this version to meet legal requirements and give users more autonomy and transparency over their privacy settings." As it turned out, that's exactly what happened.Ī Piriform staff member responded with the following: A user on Piriform's forums noticed that CCleaner had automatically updated on his system without his permission. The latest CCleaner controversy comes from ignoring user preferences about checking for updates. In our opinion, it isn't time to trust CCleaner. This is unfortunately not surprising after Avast purchased CCleaner developer Piriform in July 2017. Why Is CCleaner No Longer Safe?ĬCleaner, once a tidy app with no history of issues, has had several major problems in less than a year. Here's why you can't trust CCleaner anymore, and what to replace it with.
