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.<\/p>\n

\"macoscheckdotcom<\/p>\n

As it turns out, it is related to none other than MacKeeper. In January2014, a class action lawsuit<\/a> was filed against ZeoBIT, the maker of MacKeeper.<\/p>\n\n

“macoscheck.com” was registered on December 26, 2015.<\/p>\n
