MacReviver

Posted: February 10, 2020

MacReviver is a computer optimization utility that may be promoted to owners of Mac devices. The purpose of this software is to enhance the operating system's speed, performance, and health by fixing common mistakes and getting rid of junk files. However, we assure you that the latest versions of Apple's infamous desktop operating system is perfectly capable of executing these tasks on its own, and you do not need to use 3rd-party utilities that serve this purpose. Another reason why the installation of MacReviver is not recommended is that this software suite may use misleading scan reports to get you to purchase a pricy product key.

When users first run MacReviver, the program will run a scan and generate a report that contains all recommended optimizations – however, the results may be exaggerated grossly, and users might be left with the impression that their devices are in dire condition. Finally, MacReviver will offer to fix all pending issues, but under one condition – the user must obtain a product key and activate the full version of MacReviver. This aggressive marketing strategy is frowned upon in the cybersecurity field, especially when software products use exaggerated results and warnings to trick their users into paying.

While MacReviver is not threatening, we advise you not to install this program as it has no useful features – all it does is to bombard you with reminders that you need to purchase a key to fix the issues it found. If you have installed the MacReviver software already, we advise you to remove this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) either manually, or by running a suitable Mac security tool.
