Hello everyone-
Just joined and looking to learn as much as I can. I've had a Mac for almost a decade but relied on my brother to manage my computer life and it's time for me to learn some things on my own. My brother placed MacKeeper on my Mac sometime ago and I had it run a scan just last night. It came back showing some pretty frightful stuff (bunch of red security threats) and I selected it to clean it up and after it started it stopped and said I had reached the capacity for the free amount and it wanted money to finish the job. What I'm trying to figure out is if my Mac is REALLY in a pinch and I need to spend the money to have it cleaned up or if it's just trying to get me to sign up for their service. At the end of the day I want to put something on my Mac and MacBook Air that will clean up the years of me not doing anything to them and see if there are any concerns. They are running good but like a car I'm guessing it wouldn't hurt to have a tune up performed? Any suggestions on what the pro's here feel is the best they like to use and is it really worth spending the annual fee's with some of these apps/softwares given I haven't had any issues in almost a decade. Appreciate any feedback folks have here to offer!
