Has anyone used this is it a proper Apple application?

It is a bad program. Stay far away from it.

Stay away from that app. It causes many people major problems.

It is a dreadful programme; don't touch it.

Suffice to say, while not paying full attention to what I was doing (and not realising what it was - I should have asked somewhere, such as this forum here) I downloaded it over two years ago…….and had to get professional assistance to get rid of it. An absolute nuisance and an utter menace.

Steer well clear is my advice.

MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed, with a history of making false advertising claims, by a company called Zeobit, and a rip-off.

We have to remove this off a few Macs a week at work. Terrible software, avoid at all costs

Thanks for that everyone, sadly I might have already done some damage already.
Need to get rid of all associated files looking at the links that are attached.

Generally, you don't need such programs on OS X.

As I suspected this software has done some damage already, anyone any ideas how to get rid of it?
