Q: Help to reinstall MAC after MACkeeper problem. I just installed MACkeeper and had a really bad experience.

Hi friends

I installed MACkeeper and my PC settings went haywire. I have big problems with my internet connection settings. I have uninstalled the MACKeeper program, but that hasn't helped.

I probably need to reinstall the Operating System, how do I do that? What system should I Choose . I have a Macbook pro that is from october 2011.

any help will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)

You can use Lion Recovery to reinstall the OS.

Should also look into how to use the system's tools for backup, restore, manage your system.

MacKeeper is a trojan. If you followed the developer's instructions to remove it, you haven't removed it completely. Follow the instructions here:

how to uninstall MacKeeper

IMPORTANT: It’s been reported that MacKeeper has some kind of “encryption” feature. If you used MacKeeper to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall the software, or make sure that you can restore the files from backups that were made before they were “encrypted.”
