how to get rid of MacKeeper

Question - is it that bad. What harm did it cause?

My friend just installed it before hearing of the

bad rep but I'd like to know what's actually wrong

with it . .

As far as deleting, complete instructions here:

Good luck, Tom

MacKeeper, being poorly written, acts like highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also unethically marketed and a rip-off, offering nothing that is not available for free.. Positive reviews of it are known to have been paid for by the developers, Zeobit.

Do NOT download or use the ‘MacKeeper uninstaller’ from the Zeobit site, as this will cause even more damage to your operating system.
