Yeh I have escalated the issue further, it appears its the US side of the ad provider causing the issue so I mailed the head of operations there. If its no better tomorrow I will disable that provider for now.

Seriously, if this is legit, who thought that would be a good marketing strategy?

Merged into the correct place, not seen that one but please grab where it points to so I can see why it appeared.

@ZeroHour:

I just saw this image appear in this thread with your signature:

Some Edugeek members might consider this NSFW. Graphics included in signatures like these might need to be looked at again?

Not a criticism I just offer it for consideration.

I was under the impression that MacKeeper was not a thing you would want to install on your Mac (in a similar way you want to remove all traces of Norton when you get a new computer because of the resources it hogs) so you can understand my surprise when I see an advert for it on here! :/

So, what is the deal with MacKeeper .. is it something to avoid on the same scale as the plague as I have thought for some time?

Merged this post into the report bad ad's thread.

I have not seen the advert myself (probably because I am on PC) but its probably seeded through adsense. If you see it again please try and capture the images url and the url it points to and I will get it blocked.

You definitely do not want to install MacKeeper. ZeoBit (the company who make this app) use some very underhanded tactics...
