I’ve always believed that the most dangerous software is security software.

Who watches the watchers?

ANOTHER failing of MacKeeper. . . such poor security that white hat hacker was able to break into their database and download names, email addresses, usernames, password hashes, computer name, ip address, software license and activation codes, type of hardware (ex: “macbook pro”), type of subscriptions, phone numbers and computer serial numbers. If you have MacKeeper installed on your Mac, REMOVE IT NOW! It is MALWARE! -- PING!

No MacKeeper, no way, no how!
Ping!

But Macs don't get viruses, spyware, or that sort of thing. My friends all said that Macs are superior and that I don't need any anti-virus software! /sarcasm

Oh how many times I have heard this cry from mac users. Of course, the defenders will try to say how MacKeeper isn't technically a virus or malware, but the same problem that plagues the majority of PCs is the same problem for Macs. You can't create a system that prevents a stupid user from installing a program they shouldn't. The biggest security hole in any computer network is its users. Their lousy passwords and "clicky" habits will punch holes in a computer network every time.

Everything I have read on MacKeeper has convinced me to avoid that thing like the plague. The ads are intentionally tricky. It’s scary stuff. What’s more, I’ve heard from people who were dumb enough to try it that it is almost impossible to remove once installed.
