I know that you and I discussed this by Private Message, but I wanted to post this for anyone else reading this later.


MacKeeper is a program you would buy; it's not something you would get from a virus or anything like that. The only way that this would have been on your computer would be if you had clicked on a link that took you to their page, you downloaded the program, and then installed it.

Unlike a lot of programs, though, their install process is just one-click, so it's possible to have done this without realizing it. I don't think it's very likely, but still... possible.

Either way, the program has had pretty negative reviews online, so I wouldn't recommend downloading it unless absolutely necessary. There are plenty of free programs available (even for Mac) that would likely work just as well.

MacKeeper is an evil thing and not fun to eradicate. For Mac users beware! I think I picked up this viewing some posts on here - maybe not. Youtube may have been the culprit.


All out there just be careful. This is the first time I have ever had problems with this computer. MacKeeper is not my friend!
