Magican is an integrated system utility for optimizing Mac OS X, featuring:
System optimization: Magican can clearly catch the sum of junks and remove them by only "One-Click".
Monitor for Mac: System information, memory usage and CPU usage are displayed to help users clearly catch the information of the Mac.
Clean Mac: "One-Click" to scan and clear all the useless files, including duplicated files, unneeded languages packages, useless binaries, system logs, caches, web browser caches and former app's leftover.
*sniff*sniff*. yeah, smells bad. maybe your program really is legit, "emma", but the glowing reviews are incredibly suspicious. don't do this; it's called "astroturfing", and when people find out, you will discover your product gets trashed everywhere, and rightly so. astroturfing cheats, and makes us distrust our fellow reviewers, which damages the review system.
"I like this free utility, especially the new added uninstall feature."
lol @ Allenwil
You made my day
more seriously, I had this tool installed due to Menu Meters not updated for Lion. But since it was updated, I've trashed Magican due to bad comments here,. And yes, I hate MacKeeper too.
Those of you commenting, should rate this crapware down. It's ridiculous to have such a high over-all rating for a program the Mac Community doesn't trust.
Did a whois lookup for magicansoft.com, this company's web site. This is who registered the domain:
Magican
450 W. 33 Street, New York, NY
New York, New York 10001
United States
Administrative Contact: Magican Studio
That address is a big, new corporate building where the AP has its NYC offices, and the listed phone number for this company is the same as for the NY Daily News, a newspaper in New York (thank you, Google). Something odd is going on here.
Respectable Emma (I do hope You're not only the beautiful Lady, but the main person of he Firm also!), here is Waldemar Edler von Rennenkampf ; do not listen to all those poor calumniators, who do not like Your nice Product. I see You do Your best for Mac users, so pay no attention to crowd's opinion.With Esteem, W.E.v.R.
This app was really slow and eating ressources for no apparent reason. After uninstalling I still get the message "com.apple.launchd: (com.magican.castle[540]) posix_spawn("/Library/Application Support/Magican/McDaemon", ...): No such file or directory
" in Console. Really annoying and I can't get rid of it.
I found that a good way to get rid of software like that is to download EasyFind and then search the entire disk for stuff related to the offending software (you can also search for invisibles and package contents). It always does the trick!
Sorry for the bothering we brought to you. This is Emma from Magican Software Ltd.
The problem you met may caused by files incompletely uninstalled. You can delete the file:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.magican.castle.plist
Then restart Mac. This will help you solve uninstall problem caused by Magican.
For the "eating resource" problem, we sincerely hope you can email to our support team, we will try our best to quickly solve the problem.
Sorry again for the troubles caused to you. Your suggestions are welcomed to us.
