Thank you for your article! A couple of queries:
1) I've been happily using "Clean my Mac" after scuttling MKeeper, but are they somehow in cahoots with Mkeeper?
2) Will I find, in your article about Mac protection anything on anti-virus protection that covers both Mac and the Windows partition in my Mac? I know Kaspersky has something, but I'm wondering if there are alternatives.
Well, you are likely to receive the same advice, i.e. remove 'Clean My Mac' (or whatever name it may be?), and again as w/ MacKeeper, you need to check for an 'uninstall' program or directions online to remove the entire program.
Onyx is the 'maintenance' program that is typically recommended on the forum - if you want to give it a try, then follow the link directly to their website and select the appropriate version for your OS X.
Ghostery & AdBlock are Safari extensions also recommended, along w/ Adaware Medic as a removal tool - there is no need for AV software on your Mac partition (unless you feel malware could be passed from that location to your Windows partition, then a passive app, such as ClamXav might be considered); BUT, as to the Windows partition, treat that like a separate PC and protect it from malware.
