I received a frantic message from a friend when she saw a message that “virus found” on her Mac. She then sent me a few photos of the message.
As it turns out, it is related to none other than MacKeeper. In January2014, a class action lawsuit was filed against ZeoBIT, the maker of MacKeeper.
“macoscheck.com” was registered on December 26, 2015.
