Mac Auto Fixer is a potentially unwanted program that pretends to be a genuine Mac optimization app that shows fake warning messages and alerts on machine in order to make you purchase a completely useless application.

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.

Mac Auto Fixer advertises itself on its website as a 'Cleanup Utility for Mac'.

So I deleted the app, took a look around in the usual places in the home folder (Application Support, Launch Daemons, LaunchAgents, Preferences) and Safari extensions, deleted what looked suspicious, and waited for the app to reappear.

Sure enough, it did.
