What are the features included with MacKeeper?

If your Mac is running slower than usual, don’t hurry to take it into service or worst, replace it for a new computer. There might be several culprits to consider and eliminate first:

• You should update your operating system
• You should empty the caches, as they take up a lot of storage space and they can make your Mac sluggish
• Try to close all the apps that you’re not using and check what apps are launching at startup
• Install an utility software and do a deep cleaning to declutter your hard drive

What is utility software?

Utility software are programs/apps that fix the bugs on your computer, they clean the drive, optimize and boost your Mac’s overall performance. There are a lot of examples of such utility apps: disk cleaners, backup apps, antivirus apps, recovery apps, network utility apps and more.

Or, instead of installing so many separate apps for every task, you can install a complex utility software that includes all these features. One of the most popular on the market is MacKeeper.

What does MacKeeper include and what is its price?

MacKeeper is a useful utility program developed in 2009 and currently owned by Kromtech. Even though it’s a safe software that can repair and boost your Mac, a lot of people are skeptical about using it and often mistake it for malware or other such threats. Kromtech is a bit to blame for that, because of MacKeeper’s aggressive advertising that is a deal breaker for many potential customers.

Nevertheless, in spite of its questionable reputation, MacKeeper can really clean your Mac, keep it secure and improve its performance. The software has over 50 million installs so far, starting with 2010.

MacKeeper is not a free program and it is subscription-based. There are 4 plans to choose from, based on the billing interval: a 1-month, a 6-month, a 12-month and a 24-month plan.
