Original developer of MacKeeper software will have to reimburse customers for misleading advertising

You, a Mac user, have most likely come across some advertising for the software MacKeeper by a. Something like:

If you happened to fall into this and bought the utility, be aware that you will probably soon be entitled to a refund paid by his original developer at ZeoBIT.

We just talked about MacKeeper here on a single time, in 2010, when it was originally launched. Until then, the software proposal seemed cool to basically perform maintenance and backup routines on Macs.

Only that, in order to win customers, ZeoBIT used exaggerated and deceptive advertising techniques. In 2014 she was taken to justice and now, according to PCWorld, will have to pay at least $ 2 million back to users. Still, she refuses to admit that she promoted the product in the wrong way.

And do not think that the value is too much for her: according to documents registered in court, in the United States alone ZeoBIT would have sold 513,330 copies of MacKeeper at $ 39.95 each. The account is not complicated: she made more than $ 20 million in this game.

To return this money to customers, ZeoBIT will have to contact everyone via email and also conduct an online campaign to reach as many people as possible.

MacKeeper remains active today, only under the tutelage of another company, KromTech. However, in light of all this, we cannot recommend it to anyone. If you are looking for such software, CleanMyMac 3 is a good choice.
