It's a pretty nasty piece of software, you may have to use FindAnyFile and search for MacKeeper and then manually trash everything FindAnyFile can find on the app. You also may have to do an erase and install to start over and then manually restore your data files from your backup and manually install each of your third party apps.


Going forward NEVER EVER install any antivirus, cleaning or any third parties "maintenance" apps unless you want to experience similar problems!!!!!!!!!!!!
