No no no no no. Never. It's basically Malware for your Mac. Search the forums. You'll see.

Woah there, Bob! Let's avoid that one like the plague. It's bad, bad, bad.

If it finds its way onto your computer, run a full scan through MalwareBytes for Mac: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac-download/

MacKeeper is a virus. Avoid it at all costs.

Install an adblocker so you'll never see advertisements for it on websites.
