Hey Guys i was wondering if you could help me out...

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2001) with OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.1) on it and i have a problem with MACKEEPER in SAFARI. About every couple of minutes MacKeeper pops up in a new tab and says i need to run a clean. I have installed it before and i uninstalled it by putting it in the trash and emptying the trash. I don't understand why it keeps popping up even when i have the "Block pop-ups windows" checked in my preferences....? can anyone help me solve this issue? i have read multiple threads and none of them seem to help...


Thanx

MacKeeper will actually go away without a fight. It's anything else that you may have installed after the fact. Like CleanMyMac, InstallMac or Genieo, etc.

No i haven't installed anything after i installed MacKeeper. I can't use the link you posted bc i don't have MacKeeper installed on my Mac at all... so i can't use the "uninstall" feature.

thanx
 
To uninstall MacKeeper completely takes a little bit more effort. It Never goes away w/o a fight!

...download a piece of freeware called "EasyFind".

Open EasyFind.

Set it up this way:
- Select "files and folders"
- Operator "Phrase"
- Comparison "Ignore Case"
- Include Package Contents
- Check Invisible Files & Folders

Type "MacKeeper" in the search text area and hit the magnifying glass at the right to start the search.

If you get some hits, see below.

You can now select items in the EasyFind window and delete them manually.
If an item won't delete, RIGHT CLICK on it and choose "reveal in finder"
In the finder window, locate the item and try to drag it to the trash.
If you are prompted for your password, enter it. That should do the trick.

When everything is in the trash, empty the trash.

Now, REPEAT the EasyFind search that you ran above, to be sure everything's gone.
