Deceiving domain - machealpro.com

Machealpro.com is a website that is used to distribute Mac Heal Pro software - developers claim that it can clean, repair, and speed up Macs just with one click. However, this is a scareware program that should not be trusted, as it aims to display exaggerated scan results and present the findings in a manner that misleads users into thinking that their machines are extremely damaged and need fixing. As evident, such information is not advised on the official site, and only after downloading Mac Heal Pro software users are mislead.

On Machealpro.com, users can either download the free version of the app or buy it immediately. Both versions are deceptive, based on how they are presented to the users:

  • The "free version" is not capable of repairing anything, and users are asked to pay for the license in order to fix fake issues. Additionally, if users do not comply, the app will show intrusive pop-ups that claim that the computer is at risk until the problems found are fixed.
  • The paid version is offered for $14.95, and some users may believe that it is a final price - it is not. The payment is monthly, so, by paying, they agree to subscribe to recurring money transfers, which is not immediately disclosed to users.
