[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1446757, member: 38864"] We frequently see people here having issues that can be traced directly to that software. The link I provided pretty much spells it out... it acts like malware, though I don't think it's from maliciousness so much as incompetence on the part of the developers. There's [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/266371-mackeeper-worth-buying-2.html"]a thread here[/URL] where I posted my observations from testing just a couple of its modules. I'm planning to sit down one weekend and more thoroughly test each module. I've never seen anyone do it. The software gets a lot of high praising reviews, which is disturbing because real world usage contradicts those completely. It's like these "reviewers" are taking it at face value that the software does what it claims without putting it to the test. [/QUOTE]
