i am new to mac. have a mbp 15 that is only month old. i havent paid for the mackeeper and want it off this computer. how do i go about getting rid of it?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
when i drag it to the trash it just comes back up on the app screen. this is 10.7.2 and the link above just goes up to 10.6. is this different maybe?
wjosten,
is mistaken, his link is to remove the MacDefender malware, which MacKeeper is very close to being, but it's not the same.
CMCSK,
supposedly running the MacKeeper removal by their method results in phishing of information etc before it departs.

This developer here has a more through removal method and information, I'd advise people recommend and use his advice instead of listening to anything from those horrid developers at MacKeeper.

Also PLEASE contact Apple to remove this crap, there is a link on Phil Stokes page.

Thank you for this information especially the "recommended" uninstall site.
I just got rid of it myself. Find the App icon in your Applications folder and drag it to the trash. You should then get a window that asks if you want to uninstall. Also, remove the App's icon from your dock. Empty your trash and restart your Macbook.
Look on this very page. On the upper right side, you'll see a box titled "More Like This".
Need I say more?
The link no longer works... I need help in removing MacKeeper! Can anyone list the steps
here? Much appreciated, thanks! C:- Stephanie
Which link doesn't work? The applehelpwriter link? I just tried it and it loads fine. Could mackeeper be blocking it somehow? If so, you might want to try viewing the instructions from a different machine.
how do i get rid of mackeeper. i am new to mac have this on computer.
