There is no escaping software updates as long as your Mac is connected to the Internet, which is the only scenario that makes sense. Not every such app refinement is flawless, and even the generally error-proof Macs are susceptible to issues along the way.

The virus called Emotet has grown into a real global plague over the years.

When confronted with the Chill Tab browser hijacker, Mac machine users feel frustrated and helpless because the problem won’t go away no matter what manual cleanup techniques they leverage.

There is no such thing as a junk-free Mac, unless you have just bought it and turned it on for the first time. As the computer is being used, the web browsing activity and installed applications leave heaps of cache and temporary files behind that cram up the system with megabytes or even gigabytes of data you don’t need. The Mac Cleanup Pro software claims to find and delete this clutter, but it turns out to be a fake system utility at the end of the day.
