Can anyone please tell me if "MacKeeper 2012" is a legitimate and Apple-approved programme?
I got it through a link on Speedtest.net that looked like it was a perfectly legit partner for that site.
It seemed perfectly reasonable and genuine at the time and I very stupidly downloaded, opened and registered it. Only after that did I feel it was a bit suspect, so I checked it out and found all that trojan stuff from last year, with MacDefender and so on.
I immediately cancelled my debit card and have trashed the programme, as advised on a very helpful website (www.reedcorner.net) and so far no ill-effects.
Is there any need to be concerned?
