This has been happening to me as well!After an unsuccessful live chat attempt, I just called the MacKeeper 24/7 Tech Support number 1.888.572.5876After refusing to re-load their MacKeeper application trial offer from their website to then re-remove it, after refusing to allow them to connect with my computer remotely, and after sharing choice statements regarding my dislike of their "trial" offer, I finally convinced them to help me remove every last vestige of their program from my HD.The "technician" walked me through about a dozen locations to find traces of com.zeobit.MacKeeper on my computer. Dragged them to the trash and emptied it.I am waiting for an update to download then I am going to restart my computer to see if these messages stop. Will let you know what happens.Just re-started computer and my console messages no longer contain the series of messages every 10 seconds as noted above!!! The search &lt;and destroy mission&gt; for com.zeobit.MacKeeper files worked!Burn in Dante&#x27;s Inferno forever MacKeeper!
