Is it safe to download the mackeeper?

i think my mac book pro has a bug, and i had a popup called mackeeper that says it can clean up my mac, is it safe to download the mac keeper?

As a representative of Zeobit LLC - the developers of MacKeeper, I would like to persuade you it's safe indeed to download our app. It has nothing in common with malware - vice versa, it's one of the apps that can help you fight with MacDefender threat you can read about it in the article at CNet 'How to protect your Mac from recent malware'  - http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20063683-263.html  -
The pop-ups you may have seen are the part of advertizing campaign that is completely legit, in case you click them you'll be redirected to the page giving extra info about our app - the app isn't downloaded or installed.
Speaking about system slowdowns, it's not in the nature of MacKeeper to be the reason of them - and we give you an opportunity to make sure in it yourself - MacKeeper has 15 days full-functional trial so you'll be able to give a try to all its tools, clean your system, try the antivirus and undelete features and more. In case you will notice any slowdowns (while you have to notice the increasing of speed) you can easily remove MacKeeper as it has its own uninstaller so all the components of the app are removed in several clicks with no leftovers.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link. <Edited by Host>

    only enable Java if you absolutely have to use it.  Otherwise, it's better to leave it disabled.

  • Is it safe to download the new version iOS6?

    Is it safe to download the new version iOS6 to ipad3?

    Define Safe? It is virus free since there are no iOS viruses. Will your iPad work OK? Mine works fine with iOS 6.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

  • I was on pintrist and Macsecurityalert found tapsnake virus. Is it safe to download recommended mackeeper app?

    Hi, I have a MacBook Pro and was on Pintrest when I got a virus. Macsecurityalert said it was Tapsnake virus and I need to download MacKeeper. Is this necessary to remove the virus? Is it safe to download?

    Hi. Did it tell you to download mackeeper? That is a scam You do not need mackeeper. Mac have security software built in. The most you'll get is adware by downloading from a insecure website.http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

  • Is it safe to download the Yosemite on the Macbook pro

    I am wondering if it is safe to download Yosemite to the laptop because it says that it is not comparable with all apps.  Plus it did not suggest it as an upgrade.  What to do?  What to do?

    I recommend creating a second partition on your hard drive, and install Yosemite on the new partition. That way you can test it out without it affecting your current OS.

  • Is it safe to download the Adobe Flash Player to my macbook

    Is it safe to download Adobe Flash Player to my macbook?  If so, any recomendations?

    Adobe Flash Player is listed in my system preferences in 'Other.'  I updated from there.  Is that not a good idea?
    That's perfectly okay. You just don't want to click mystery links in e-mail messages, on web sites or click buttons in unsolicited Flash update warnings. These things have been problems in the past. In all such cases, ignore it and go update Flash from Adobe's web site or through System Preferences.
    I do most of my updates from my 'Software Update."  Is that also not to be trusted?  And checking for updates in the menu of third party software?
    Those should also be fine, though don't do this sort of thing on an unknown public wireless network. Sometimes, such networks can be set up with the express purpose of getting people to join and then fooling their computers into downloading fake updates. Do your updates on known, trusted networks, such as your own home network.
    I also went to the firefox link you suggested (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ ).  It indicates that my Shockwave Flash and Java Applet Plug-in are outdated.
    Shockwave is not quite the same. You can install (or update) it separately here:
    http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    However, I have never had a Shockwave plugin installed on my computer. There's very little Shockwave content on the web these days. You may do better to simply uninstall it.
    Regarding Java, you MUST update it as quickly as possible! See:
    Java is vulnerable… Again?!
    If you have Java enabled in your web browser, it may be worth scanning your hard drive for malware using something like Sophos.

  • I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download the Kobo reader app. can I download things from the internet that are not available in the apple store?

    I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download from the internet (such as Kobo) that are not available on the app store. It asked me if I was sure it was safe, so it's got me worried.

    If you know the sites are OK, then download away.

  • I have accidentally downloaded the Mackeeper to my I mac and am now unable to get rid ofit. I have tried dragging it to the waste bin but it wont play ball any ideas?

    Help i am unable to remove it from my computer

    MacKeeper is highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also unethically marketed and a rip-off. Positive reviews of it are known to have been paid for by the developers, Zeobit.
    Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    Do NOT download or use the ‘MacKeeper uninstaller’ from the Zeobit site, as this will cause even more damage to your operating system.
    This is also worth reading:

    Equally phoney is iAntivirus:

    * The expression ‘malware’ is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software.

  • Is it safe to download latest update from Apple to my iphone 4

    The reason I ask, is that I amd many people had a problem with an software upgrade for the 3S and I have heard that similar problems have followed after downloading the latest update. Is it safe to download the latest version or will it slow my phone and cause battery life problems that I have heard so much about?

    You only read about the problems here, because people who don't have problems don't usually post. Also, if you go back in time you will see that there are problem reports after every update for the past 5 years; if you take them seriously your phone would still be on iOS version 2.1.
    A few people have problems after every update. And a few people have problems not associated with any update. If you update your phone will most likely work as well or better than it did before. If it doesn't you can almost always fix any issues that arise. To minimize the chance of a problem there are a few precautions you can take before updating:
    Connect to a USB port directly on your computer to update if you are not updating over the air
    If you are updating over the air connect the phone to power, and make sure you have a good charge level (>50%)
    Reboot your computer just before updating if not over the air
    Disable your antivirus just before updating if not over the air
    If using your computer click the "Check for Update" button, then choose "Download Only". This way if the download fails your phone will still be usable. After the download completes click "Check for Update" again.
    For both "tethered" and over the air updates do it at a time when you are unlikely to receive push email, calendar or contact updates
    Kill all 3rd party apps (in the Quick Launch ribbon) that use Notifications just before updating
    Except for the first 2 the rest are being extra careful, and will be unnecessary in most caes. But they won't do any harm either.

    Is it safe to download MacKeeper?

    And just to add to the fun the makers of that piece of junk are facing not one but two class action lawsuits. One claims that the app creates false security scares to trick you into buying and the other that it just doesn't work.
    So, you still want to download it?

  • Has anyone experienced problems with Mackeeper? I did not complete downloading this software. Yet, occasionally when on the internet, I will have the MacKeeper multi-colored circle replace my pointer. How do you deal with this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
