MacKeeper is an antivirus and anti-malware that helps Mac users streamline performance optimization and data protection operations via a unified platform.

More Details

MacKeeper scans and removes malware, spyware, adware, and ransomware, as well as provides protection against online threats and viruses.

MacKeeper includes application security management, real-time monitoring, an activity dashboard, endpoint protection, vulnerability scanning, automated alerts, and more. It allows users to anonymously browse web pages through a virtual private network (VPN), block advertisements, and check emails for password leaks.

Additionally to its security features, MacKeeper also boosts your Mac performance using deep system scan, cache & log removal, instant RAM cleanup, detailed memory usage stats, duplicate files finder, and more.

*Note that the free plan is quite limited, and it acts more as a free trial than an actually useful product, in our opinion. Besides the free plan, MacKeeper offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on its annual plans (or 14 days on its monthly plan), so you can try it risk-free before committing long-term.
