No, Mac Mechanic has nothing to do with Apple. It isn’t a regular performance enhancement tool either. Just like Mac Auto Fixer thoroughly analyzed in the above tutorial, it is an imitation maintenance tool that tries to dupe users into buying its licensed version. In fact, both applications hail from the same source and take a very similar unethical route in terms of the tactics. Originally discovered in 2018, Mac Mechanic tailgates into computers alongside benign-looking or junk programs advertised on low-quality software download repositories. Once on board a system, it spoofs an unsatisfactory condition of the host by displaying counterfeit scan results that list dozens or hundreds of memory hogs, redundant cache files, unused language packages, and logs. Most of these items aren’t even there, so the high improvement potential signaled by these scan reports is a fake. Therefore, every user who discovers this Mac Mechanic would be better off uninstalling it without hesitation.
