Once it's opened, Ensure that you go to the View menu and view 'All Processes', this will show you everything that is running on your machine. Make use of OSX's 'Activity Monitor' (Spotlight it, or find it in Applications/Utilities). Not to preach, but you're far better to have a basic understanding of OSX and let it manage itself. OSX, in the main, will only be using resources when it's running t's apps - it's not like windows and it's registry system which runs around like Tarzan in the jungle waking up all the snakes every time you boot your machine, with libraries and support files branching off and out to multiple applications, so you have to be careful of what you pull out - Just look at how the applications sit nicely, they aren't a file, they are a container that has everything the application needs to run, then anything personal to yourself sits in the Library/Support file system - and only used if required.įrom an audio perspective i certainly wouldn't run anything i don't need, and that's exactly why i chose to use a mac, it makes me sad to see people using tools like Mackeeper etc. One of the few tools i would use if i really needed to would be piriform's ccleaner - but there's just no need with OSX to run any of these tools as they're adding an overhead to your system.
#Mackeeper keeps popping up mac#
I would stay clear of Clean My Mac too, personally. I've spent many a day, re-installing from scratch, because I was too cheap and lazy to buy a back up drive and use Time Machine. or a clean back up of your OS drive, so you can return it to a working state, should you 'catch something'.
#Mackeeper keeps popping up install#
I haven't found that to be the issue, but Apple knows more than me I'm sure.īottom line, if you want to keep your machine healthy, don't install everything that interests you (I did that a lot). one of their techs told me, it sometimes erases a file needed by other apps. HOWEVER APPLE considers 'Clean My Mac' malware. Which is good, cause it keeps track of everything you install, and deletes every file related to it, if you decide to uninstall something. These other sites do give you Flash or Java, but have malware added to the code. I've seen sites, that want a 'legacy' version of Java installed. Quit your browser and go to the Java or Flash site directly, and see if you need it. Same when you see Flash or Java warnings on your browser. I think the worst it does is keep popping up when using your browser. It makes copies of itself, which regenerate should you delete it.
Once you catch it, (by clicking on a link or button you think does something else.
