MacKeeper is horrible malware that causes a "virus warning" to pop up in your browser that freezes the functionality of your computer until you force quit the browser several times. I'm STILL trying to get rid of it! You are misrepresenting your product and I can't imagine what you are gaining from hijacking peoples computers like this other than an evil twisted chuckle. Why don't you show some good will towards the "legitimacy" of your product and tell us how to stop this annoying malicious virus addware that all of sudden started popping up AFTER we did the free (except for the major headache of this software) download? I have deleted it from my system (which was a headache as well) and now I'm getting this popup which I NEVER got before this bogus mackeeper program.

With the kernel panics, I suspect that was another problem besides DiskWarrior. It could be an innocent bystander.

I think DiskWarrior was not the problem, there was another cause.

What on Earth are you talking about?
If you didn't install it, you're fine. Even if you did install it, it's not technically malware, but is darn hard to delete and will make a pest of itself.
Manolo: I hope you'll understand when I say that I doubt your veracity, it seems as if Zeobit are posting via your identity.
How can I prove you Csound1 that it is not them! Oh my... this is one of the most interesting postings I've ever read!!
Thank you Csound1. Any recommendation on how to remove it if it comes to that?
Thanks again.
Manolo.

OK thanks stevejobsfan and Csound1.
MacKeeper should be removed better than Zeobit says: paid or not their way leaves countless entries, also in the Keychain !

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. The "Mackeeper" is a malware that will open a popup with every link you click to the mackeeper website. And God know what else it does.
Hey me too, I saw this programme advertised and thought it sounded good but decided to google ''is mackeeper safe'' and it brought me here, so glad I did.
Softwater (Phil?): Both links are working for me.
