Free memory clean for mac. You might recall that a few months ago I got to spend some time removing MacKeeper from a Mac. Then last week, the call came from downstairs where my spouse was using her Mac. From the sound of her voice, I was sure it wasn't good.
Allow me to paraphrase.. 'Something just popped up on my screen about an automatic update.' It didn't take long to figure out that an app named Mac Auto Fixer was that something and that my spouse didn't install it.
This all sounded suspiciously like a number of other software products that (1) show up on a Mac, seemingly out of thin air, (2) offer to do one thing, but (3) might do something else.
Mac Auto Fixer advertises itself on its website as a 'Cleanup Utility for Mac'.

How to remove Mac Auto Fixer
I had already tried to delete Mac Auto Fixer manually but was pretty sure there were probably some hidden remnants. So I turned to Malwarebytes.
If you haven't already heard of Malwarebytes, it's an anti-virus program that detects unwanted leftover bits of coding that can oftentimes be left behind, even when you think you've deleted the offending program. You can use it for free on a one-time basis if your Mac is already infected. If you want full-time protection, you can upgrade to the premium version for $39.99 per year for one Mac, $49.99 per year for two computers, and $59.99 per year for three computers. The per-unit price gets cheaper the more computers you license it for.

Click Scan Now.
- In the results window, check the box for each item to be deleted and click Confirm.
Click Restart.
If you launch Malwarebytes and run the scan again, you can rejoice in the purge.
