Unfortunately, it looks like you have MacKeeper installed on your system. (In addition to the “Recommended System Scan” pop-up, this application has a “Tracking Update” pop-up that you may have seen as well.) This is a tricky program to uninstall, but we’ll show you how in this article. We also have a more general guide on how to uninstall Mac apps.īy the way, MacKeeper is probably not malware. We’ve heard from some Mac owners who actually found this helpful but its resistance to deletion and the seemingly clever way to find it on the system without the user knowingly installing it are not the behavior of a respectable application. I keep getting a pop-up with the message “System scan recommended: click Start Scan to run system diagnostics.” But I don’t recognize the logo in the popup and I’m sure my Mac doesn’t need to be scanned. Is it malware and how to get rid of it?
