Exaggerated warning messages[edit]
Two class action lawsuits have been filed against Kromtech for the Mac OS version of PCKeeper, MacKeeper. The first lawsuit, filed in Illinois, alleges that 'Contrary to ZeoBIT's marketing and in-software representations, however, neither the free trial nor the full registered versions of MacKeeper perform any credible diagnostic testing of a user's Mac. Instead, ZeoBIT intentionally designed MacKeeper to invariably and ominously report that the consumer's Mac needs repair and is at-risk due to harmful errors, privacy threats, and other problems, regardless of the computer's actual condition.'[11] The second complaint, filed by Holly Yencha of Pennsylvania, alleges that the free starter version of MacKeeper identifies harmless programs as 'critical' problems. The complaint claims that 'under MacKeeper's reporting algorithm, even brand new computers are in 'critical' condition and require repair by purchasing the full version.' [12][5]

Reviews[edit]
PCMag rated PCKeeper Antivirus Good (3 out of 5), noting that PCKeeper Antivirus has a 'Streamlined, attractive interface. Easy to use for non-techies. Good score in our hands-on malware blocking testing'. However, it scored poorly in independent lab testing and the chat based support was 'soured by the fact that they served me misinformation.' PC Mag concluded 'you'd be better off with Panda Free Antivirus 2015, an Editors' Choice for free antivirus. It slightly edged PCKeeper in my own tests and swept the field in lab tests, with high marks across the board. For the same price as PCKeeper, you could have Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2015 or Kaspersky Anti-Virus (2015), both of which we named Editors' Choice for paid antivirus. Any of these is a better choice.' [16]
Social campaigns[edit]
In May 2013 PCKeeper let its customers decide how much to pay for the software, launching a pay what you want campaign.[24]
