One of the most common reader complaints you’ll see on our review page is that MacKeeper uses too many system resources, rendering Macs slow and unusable. Just the Factsīefore we get to ZeoBit’s rebuttal, let’s look at some data. We encourage our readers to examine both sides of this issue, and draw your own conclusions. But given that the naysayers have had the floor for over a year now, we feel it’s fair to give ZeoBit equal opportunity to defend itself. I asked that this competing company be named, but ZeoBit stated that they have no desire to start a war - though they did ask if we could give their counter-arguments a forum.Īllow me to be clear: as an unbiased publication, Apple Gazette takes no side on this issue.

ZeoBit, the company behind MacKeeper, contacted Apple Gazette recently with a surprising claim of why their app has gotten so many negative comments: ZeoBit believes that it is the target of a smear campaign by one of its competitors. Clearly, something about our review (or the reader comments therein) has struck a nerve. It’s become so high in traffic that if you search for “MacKeeper” on Google, our review is (at the time of this writing) on Google’s first page of results. Since we first posted our review of MacKeeper, it’s become one of our most-visited pages, consistently ranking in our top 5 overall pages. Yet MacKeeper is a well-reviewed piece of software, with universally positive marks. Currently, there are over 80 reader comments on that review - most of which are extremely negative.
