Once your email has been added, MacKeeper will detect whether your details have been exposed in a data breach. This feature protects against the threat of identity theft.В Click on Scan new emailВ to add your email address. ItвЂ™s quick and easy to use andВ gave me peace of mind knowing IвЂ™m in control of all the adware on my system. Once the scan was complete, I was able to delete the adware files from my system quickly.В Although most of the adware on my device wasnвЂ™t malicious, itвЂ™s nice to know that I was able to remove it easily. When I ran the Adware Cleaner scan, it took less than 5 minutes and detected several adware threats,В some of which had been on my device for years - the previous owner was an avid gamer and severalВ pieces of adware were related to gaming sites.

The initial scan detected 7 threats and moved them into the вЂњAntivirus QuarantineвЂќ where I could delete them.ДЄlthough the scanner is quick - taking just over 30 minutes - I wasnвЂ™t convinced the software scanned all the files and folders on my device, as other antivirus scanners, such as Norton and Bitdefender, scanned through a lot more files.ДЄfter running multiple scans, I found that they didnвЂ™t get any quicker - meaning the scans donвЂ™t use file caching to determine files that are known to be safe.В IвЂ™d prefer MacKeeperвЂ™s antivirus scanner if it made subsequent scans a lot faster, much like how Norton skips over previously scanned files.

I performed multiple scans, all of which were much much quicker than rival macOS-based antivirus softwareВ such as Airo AV. Under the Internet SecurityВ tab, youвЂ™ll find MacKeeperвЂ™s integrated antivirus scanner.В Here, you canВ perform a system scan to detect any malicious files or malware on your device.

However, MacKeeper canвЂ™t detect and remove rootkitsВ - when I asked a MacKeeper representative about this, they said,В вЂњUnfortunately, this kind of threat is not included in the Antivirus database.вЂќВ To protect your Mac against rootkits, IвЂ™d recommendВ you use a dedicatedВ rootkit removal software, such as SophosвЂ™s Rootkit Removal. The software helps to safeguard your macOS device from malware, ransomware, and other viruses. MacKeeper has a decent range of security featuresВ that protects your device in real-time. IвЂ™ve reviewed over 30 different antivirus programs, and I have pretty high standards when it comes to my MacвЂ™s security. There are also some pretty decent identity theft protection features which I found to be particularly useful.

There are many great tools that I can use to maximize the performance of my Mac and keep it running light and fast, even though itвЂ™s pretty low on hard drive space.

In general, itвЂ™s a pretty decent program with a lot of great features. I was nervous about testing MacKeeper because of the companyвЂ™s past history, but IвЂ™ve been pleasantly surprised by the softwareвЂ™s range of featuresВ - a significant improvement on previous versions.
