Re: MacKeeper?
There are horrible reviews of it on MacUpdate. There seems to be a marketing blitz akin to adware and data mining to anyone using a Mac browser. Apparently the site even installs unwanted software on your machine "on a trial basis". I can't imagine that it would do anything that Onyx doesn't do. I'd stay away.

EDIT: I just did some "MacKeeper" Googling, and the number of fake reviews from "astroturfing" websites, mostly in broken English, further incur my suspicions.
