Isn't this thing supposed to be at best nearly worthless and at worst something that fouls up your Mac and is hard to expunge once you've installed it?
Here's a quote from Smith Micro's e-mail:
"Do you love your Mac?
We do. That is why we spent years of development to create MacKeeper.
What is MacKeeper?
MacKeeper is like 911 for your Mac. It's an easy way to manage routine tasks and keep your Mac secured, clean, reliable, fast and attended!
What makes it so special?
MacKeeper is a bundle of most important system utilities for performing different tasks on your Mac. It will rescue you from numerous apps and dozens of customer support centers!
MacKeeper is Priceless
It is worth 16 separate apps, but costs 13 times less."
And some supposedly genuine 3rd party praise:
MacKeeper is Proven
It is a choice of respected organizations and software gurus.
(Appletell) "ZeoBIT gives you the option of treating your computer's maintenance as a whole master duty that can be accomplished from a single application. I can't wait to see what they bring on within the next couple of months when important updates are announced."
(TUAW) "MacKeeper does a whole lot and quite easily. It'd be worth it for cleanups alone, but add in scheduled backups, data encryption, file recovery (which helps recover accidentally deleted files) Smart Uninstaller and more, and you've got a heck of a nice application."

Just unsubscribed from their e-mail offerings. I must have been getting it because I owned Stuffit back when it was developed by a decent company.
