The comments are also consistent with the low ratings:
"I recommend avoiding this program like the plague."
"THIS SOFTWARE IS CRAP! And so is their Customer Support"
And all this is consistent with the low ratings that existed here at Macupdate before the flood of "paid" reviews.
No doubt that in the near future they'll start positive glowing comments and high ratings there as well.

"Astroturfers are most often highly paid lobby groups or political operatives, who act at the behest of an organization or individual with a stake in the successful outcome of the astroturf campaign. A successful astroturf campaign can sometimes emerge into a genuine "grassroots" movement and most astroturf campaigns are not discovered and/or discredited until long after the campaign is over."

I have seen many instances where MacKeep uses close to 200% of the CPU. And we have plenty of documentation to prove it.
Wether or not MacKeeper has partnered with Avira or featured at MacWorld, doesn't make it a good piece of software.
While there are a few malware or trojans that pop up now and then on the Mac, they are quickly patched by Apple or the developer of the software that is cause of the exploit. As long as you stay up to date on your System and software, there is really no need for programs like MacKeeper. But if you must have something, like a mentioned before, there are many BETTER and FREE alternatives out there. OnyX, ClamXav, Sophos, LCC, etc.
Mike101, you ether work for MacKeeper or a paid advertiser. You are the lier. I have nothing to benefit from posting this, I'm only spreading the truth.

MacKeeper seems to be great for those who are completely ignorant.
Who in their right mind would pay for this? In spite of the glowing reviews, the software has a history of being mediocre, buggy, and unnecessary.
Their marketing reminds me of spammers: Reach millions of people, annoy them, and if just a few of them make a purchase it's good business.
I've used MacKeeper and would never buy it. I'd be scared just to install it again in my system. Half a star is a generous rating.

ZeoBIT * P A I D * (paid) for reviews to be posted here and at [the competitive website that shall not be named] with the payment being A COPY OF MacKeeper 2.0.
And please don't pretend any semantic arguments. A payment of a software program, being an upgrade or not, is a plain old payment. THAT is what's OFFENSIVE. Definitive DUH Factor @Joel Mueller. I regret your enablement of this fiasco with your pointless comment.
Another word for it: BRIBERY.

Don't you think it is the least bit strange that these hundreds of devoted Mac users find NOTHING else interesting about your site? That they're not even the least bit interested in trying out some of the excellent software (much of it free) available at MacUpdate?
You've got the data. Look at it, and ask yourself: would hundreds of real MacKeeper users all act exactly the same way? You're being conned. Perhaps you choose to deny it because you like Zeobit's ad revenue. But it is painfully obvious to your legitimate users (who have real profiles and real downloading histories) what is going on.

It's true that many of those people came to the site probably just to write the review and will never come back but that doesn't discredit what they have to say, or that their opinions as a legit user of the app are representative of their experiences. I think those are valuable communications.
As far as trying to connect Zeobit's ad spend at MacUpdate to its content policy, that's a far stretch. MacUpdate has gone as far as to continually limit the amount of ad spend on on the site, request revisions to their ad creative and request review and continual improvement of the app so that Zeobit is going "more" in a better direction....fixing the uninstalling issues is a good example of this.

Ok, tried some features and it clearly does not do more then other free apps as iTweax and Onyx. MacKeeper on the other hand is in my humble experience not save for both experts and novices. It just doesn't feel right.
Now uninstalling this app is difficult if you did not trace what it actually installed. The included uninstaller does a VERY BAD job in uninstalling, in fact it lets many installed files untouched - including the kext file! That is very alarming imo and the company should take care of this !!!
Does this app delivers some value? In my tests, it does not. I mean, all available features minus the Anti-Theft can be found in trusted apps as iTweax and Onyx. Both proven and save to use apps.
My advice: do not install/try this app if you do not know how to uninstall every single file.
Conclusion:
The low rating are correct. The high ratings are not.
