Keep your Mac clean, speedy and safe with Mackeeper
While many PCs struggle with the combination of antivirus, anti-spyware, clean up and file recovery programmes, all these functions are combined in one for the Mac with the ingenious Mackeeper programme. Basically, Mackeeper does exactly what it says in the name – it is an all-round, general ‘keeper’ for your Mac, looking after its general health and making sure it stays in good order.
To do this, it combines powerful Zeobit antivirus software with data control, cleaning and optimisation features. This means that while it protects your computer from online threats, it also gives you the option of encrypting your personal data for double protection, and allows you to delete sensitive information permanently from the system using the Shredder function (be careful with this feature, it really does mean permanent deletion!).
In these days of sophisticated online fraud, protecting your bank details and passwords could not be more important, and as many internet users have painfully learned, antivirus software is often not enough. With encryption, you can not only protect any financial information stored on your hard drive, but also ensure that any sensitive business or perhaps copyright information cannot be violated.
Catch your burglar with Mackeeper!
One of the most innovative features of the Mackeeper programme is its anti-theft function. If your Mac is stolen, you can report its theft online and your Mackeeper programme will trace your computer’s whereabouts and report them back to you. But not only will it tell you where the thief has taken your Mac, it will also take an iSight photo of him which you can take to the police! Never again will you have to worry about going on holiday and leaving your Mac in an empty house; you can be sure it’s in good hands with Mackeeper.
As if these features weren’t enough, Mackeeper will also clean your computer of any unnecessary files using its clean up function. At the click of a button, you can remove unwanted languages, binaries, logs, and clean up the cache. If ever a programme was invented by people who so dearly love the Mac, this is it.
If you love your Mac, look after it with Mackeeper
Mackeeper also functions as a general hub to control the performance of your Mac. Here, you can set your apps to automatically update to the latest version and control the applications you want to launch on login, as well as setting the default applications for each file type.
By combining all these functions, Apple has created a product that simplifies the processes of PC security, maintenance, data encryption and recovery and optimisation. It really is such a genuinely intuitive programme you wonder why it was never invented before. As usual, Apple has upped the ante in programming development simply by putting usability at the top of its list of priorities.
If you are still unconvinced, Apple is offering a handy 15-day fully functional trial period for Mackeeper, including the Geek on Demand service (comprehensive technical support) that will help you iron out any initial problems. So if you love your Mac like Apple does, try some TLC with Mackeeper.
