Good choice for everyone **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Program Development | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2021 **What do you like best about MacKeeper?** The things I used the most are VPN and AdBlocker. I like to save my privacy and avoid annoying ads. VPN has a lot of servers in different countries so I can choose. Likely, MacKeeper chooses the best option by default (I suppose the best speed) so I usually just turn it on, and that's all.

I can check it manually, so there is no reason to double-check it here. **What problems is MacKeeper solving and how is that benefiting you?** Generally, it's a nice bunch of features.

And it doesn't take much time, I just open it and push a few buttons. ### 8.
