Should I remove MacKeeper?

When browsing the web on a Mac, you may come across adverts for MacKeeper, a 'free security tool'.

Is MacKeeper safe and legit?

It's a very active and aggressive marketer. As far as I can tell, MacKeeper is a legit piece of software run by a company whose sales and marketing tactics rub many in the Mac community the wrong way. It may not be for everyone, but MacKeeper is not a virus or a scam. And right now, it's 50% off ;-).

Is MacKeeper a malware?
