Look what I found in Best Buy

[mentaluproar]

I cringed.

 

[Jessica Lares]

Not as cringe worth as the books I have been seeing on eBay:

Ironically my signature says Have You Hugged Your Mac Today?

I can't find the other one, but it had a few chapters on virus protection for OS 7 and onwards.

I'm missing something here. What's cringeworthy?

Mackeeper

 

[NewAnger]

Must be Mackeeper or Norton.

What's wrong with selling Mackeeper?

What's wrong with selling Mackeeper?

I'm wondering the same thing.

 

[mobilehaathi]

I have at admit I don't get it either.

 

[mentaluproar]

Mackeeper is basically malware.

 

[grapes911]

I know many people have had many issues with it but calling it maleware seems strong. Apple even sells a version of it so you can't rip Best Buy without ripping Apple.

The reviews at the bottom of that page are not the best.

As I said, many people have had many problems with it. I'd expect the rules to be bad. I just doubt Apple is selling malware.

 

[mentaluproar]

Referring to it as malware is called exaggeration for effect. It ties into the system like AOL used to root around windows.

 

[MacNut]

I just doubt Apple is selling malware.

Well they do sell the iPhone.

 

[mentaluproar]

Well they do sell the iPhone.

Non-sequitur?

Look up mac keeper and it comes up as malware

 

[justperry]

MacKeeper and Norton are both Crap, avoid like the plague.

MacKeeper isn't technically malware. It's more like UselessWare and potentially ProblemWare. Avoidance of it and similar apps is highly recommended.
