MacKeeper is the cleaning, security, and optimization service with 16 tools to keep your Mac clean, protected, fast, and less complicated.

This is a lesson learned in Never Judge A Book By Its Cover. A few months ago I decided to try MacKeeper, a third-party utility software that is advertised to do three things for a Mac running OS X: enhance security, manage data, and optimize performance. An ad for MacKeeper on Apple.com sparked a desire to improve the speed of my laptop that very moment (I had been putting it off), so I opted to learn more. The free trial version showcased MacKeeper's polished design and easy navigability. The interface is similar in design to iTunes and Finder. With a 24/7 live chat support widget built-in to the right sidebar of the application itself, I got the idea that this company took customer service rather seriously.

I ran a system scan that day. The only issues found were related to junk files, which took less than five minutes to organize and delete. I was a little nervous about running the repair that 'automatically fixes' these things, so I selected the files myself. Overall, I was happy with the one-stop-shop aspect of the service. I concluded that it would be the most hassle-free way to perform monthly system maintenance.

MacKeeper purports to provide these services: Security Features: Antivirus & Anti-Theft: MacKeeper hypes the Antivirus feature a little too much. I think they have a sense of what computer terms frighten more per capita.

In any event, the Antivirus feature offers real-time protection from malware and phishing, as well as daily updates to their virus database. The Anti-Theft feature is somewhat reasonable. This tool tracks the location of your Mac so that, if stolen, you can file a report with ZeoBIT LLC (the developers). The next time your Mac logs online, a photo is taken with iSight. The photo and an accompanying report are then emailed to you. Even the promotional graphic illustrating Anti-Theft was amusing: a thief of tween years inexplicably gets busted by the MacKeeper technology. Sounds pretty nifty, right?

Data Control Features: Hard Drive Clean-up Though there are built-in applications on Mac OS X to take care of hard drive maintenance, they are scattered and it can take time to get familiar with each of them. MacKeeper has 6-7 data clean-up applications all conveniently located in one spot. To examine some of the major ones: • Duplicates Finder — does slightly more than its name. Apart from finding the clone files, MacKeeper allows you delete them all with 1 click. • Disk Usage — visualizes folders and files in a way that displays how much space they consume on your hard drive. • Wise Uninstaller — underwhelming to say the least.

Although you can filter through application folders, widgets, preference panes, and plugins, there were support files for applications that MacKeeper did not find. I thought I had deleted Adium, an instant messaging application, but a loose support file was later found buried in my Library. What is the point of having an uninstaller for a Mac that cannot centralize all of these files? Not so wise, MacKeeper, not so wise.

Data Control Features: Data Management There are a few tools MacKeeper provides for managing and organizing data: • Data Encryptor tool — this tool is an answer to a nonexistent question. The Mac OS X FileVault tool allows you to encrypt your Home folder if need be. If that sounds like overkill, Disk Utility for OS X 10.4 and up allows you to encrypt individual files by creating encrypted disk images (functions like a regular folder) that are password protected. • Data Recovery and Backup Tools — meh.
