• curprev 15:1415:14, 7 November 2022‎ Adoring nanny talk contribs‎ 17,193 bytes 0‎ →‎Acquisition: The review opens with the scareware tactics, data breach, and lawsuit. It says the new owner is "Trying" to clean up, but the product remains overpriced. Any sane computer user would know to stay a mile away from such a product, so we should not mischaracterize this review as "positive". undo Tag: Reverted

Noting that MacKeeper was treated as a PUP is not "using biased competitors' claims", and has nothing to do with these talk page arguments from years ago. It's a statement of fact. undo Tag: Visual edit
• curprev 04:3104:31, 6 November 2022‎ DFlhb talk contribs‎ 16,466 bytes −903‎ →‎Coverage: yeah, I removed this passage because there were significant issues with it. The "MacObserver" statement is unsourced; "certification" does not "allow low-level system privileges". And directly quoting from product reviews (which are not independent sources, and are mostly routine coverage) is inappropriate. You'll notice I kept links to all these reviews in my version, and did not "delete" anything. undo Tag: Visual edit
