What is MacReviver?

MacReviver is an all-in-one Mac optimization tool that claimes to boost system performance and make your Mac run faster. Once installed, MacReviver scans your computer and reports a bunch of problems. But is MacReviver as safe as it pretends?

Technically, it's a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that has no value. The fake optimizer bombards you with alerts so that you think your device needs immediate attention. However, you must first buy a full version to fix all issues. Since the app can't be useful in any way, it is not worth paying for.

How do I uninstall MacReviver?

So, what should you do to remove MacReviver quickly and safely?

Remove MacReviver automatically with CleanMyMac X

The best way to get rid of suspicious software is to use a dedicated uninstaller. CleanMyMac X has an Uninstaller module that shows all your apps and allows you to remove programs in bulk. It also deletes all the supporting files that are usually left on your Mac even after deleting the app. CleanMyMac X scans your Mac and traces out all unwanted elements without touching anything important.

To remove MacReviver with CleanMyMac X:

1. Download CleanMyMac X, install, and launch the app.
2. Select Uninstaller from the left-side menu.
3. Find MacReviver in the list of apps and select it.
4. Press the Uninstall button, and the app and all its files will be removed for good.

As you see on the screen, CleanMyMac X lists all the MacReviver files and even shows how much each folder takes.

There is no risk of using CleanMyMac X as Apple notarized it. Also, you can download CleanMyMac X for free and try it out before purchasing.

Has my data been compromised?

MacReviver adds suspicious extensions and activates different tracking technologies to collect private data, including:

• IP address and location
• Browsing history
• Cookies and search queries
• macOS preferences, etc.

Collected details can be misused to set up shady ad campaigns. So if you don't want your personal information to get into the wrong hands, remove the culprit as soon as you notice it.

How to check if MacReviver is uninstalled completely?

Check the following locations for any MacReviver-related elements to ensure it’s gone from your Mac:

• Applications folder
• Login Items

Still, some components of the app may have deep roots in your system. To be safe, install CleanMyMac X to scan your Mac folder by folder and remove anything that doesn't belong there. The app can also run in the background and protect you from all kinds of threats that are lurking on the internet.
