How Do I Remove MacKeeper Helper After I Have Already Uninstalled MacKeeper 4???

This is a continuation from a thread posted on February 20, 2012 by user "abigailfromca" when she had simply and legitimately asked "How Do I Remove MacKeeper Helper?" Unfortunately, some pompous smarmy phony boneheaded and insubordinate user named "laundry bleach" got the mindless, shameful, and disgraceful nerve to reply, first, by giving the wrong link that did not direct to instructions about how to successfully remove the MacKeeper malware residue from the Mac system, instead tossing a link that directs to some Mac defender site, then he stooped down so low as to resort to actually mention that, first, software add-ons like "helpers" and "defenders" are the "bane" to Mac user's "existence", which resonates like some utterly outrageous and nonsensical harebrained cockamamie, to say the least, and then resort to actually parade the distasteful and shocking analogy that one should "avoid" MacKeeper "like avoiding the plague in the future"?!?! ***!?!? Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! LOL!!! Oh, my goodness, that is SOOO utterly preposterous and just so hysterically laughable, and it is so ridiculously and incredibly hilarious!!! We all understand that we should avoid and reject installing MacKeeper at all costs for the sake of our Macs but do not resort to the preposterous audacity to make such pompous, ludicrous, and moronic biblical references to tag along with it, because that is not only so hysterically laughable but he sounds idiotic, and he can and will never be taken serious by anyone. F.Y.I, "laundry bleach" from 2012, "helpers" and "defenders" are not the "bane" of Mac user's "existence", not by a landslide, obviously and there is no "plague in the future", at all, whatsoever, as you like to ludicrously and so mindlessly purport, and you do NOT know for a fact, not even remotely have evidence, at all, whatsoever, especially NOT back in 2012, of any type of "plague in the future", and that is a fact and the bottom line, and do not try to barf off that bull crap now that the Coronavirus is "the plague in the future" of which you had "made prophecy" in 2012, because COVID-19 is hardly any type of "plague" in the way deranged religious fanatics and insane misanthropic sociopaths have mindlessly described in the past.


Now getting to the real point, I am looking for someone to give a direct and straightforward answer and provide a possible solution as to how I can remove this utterly annoying MacKeeper helper malware residue that has apparently latched onto my hard drive after I have already uninstalled the malicious MacKeeper 4 software from my Mac, and please have the decency, education, and professionalism to provide simply direct and straightforward answers and possible solutions to the question WITHOUT adding any preposterous childish comments, references, or opinions of chicanery judgment, criticism, or insults regarding the malicious software, itself, nor attempting to list each and every commercialized software there is out there then resorting to the childish 2nd grade-intelligence level act of name-calling them "crapware", useless", or "worse than useless", because that is, first of all, aversively annoying and so revoltingly obnoxious, it is unbelievably and insanely preposterous, and it is totally uncalled for and just completely unnecessary and is NOT what these forums are for, which should go obviously without saying! Just answer the question and provide any possible solutions if you can like a decent, educated, and professional human being. Otherwise, do NOT bother responding or it will surely be met with disdain, condescending ridicule, and perpetually mocking laughter. BTW, I am using Mac Pro Mid-2012 macOS 10.14 Mojave. Any real actual direct and straightforward legitimate help will be greatly appreciated. Serious replies ONLY.

Goodness me what a rant.


To uninstall MacKeeper you need to get the uninstall instructions from the developer, simply deleting the app

will not do as applications like this install their files all over your mac.

If you have deleted the app and still have MacKeepers helper operating then the best way is to install MacKeeper

again and then use the uninstall instructions to remove it completely.
