Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data


The MacKeeper ads are hard to avoid, because the developer is an aggressive, unethical marketer who abuses JavaScript. Consider installing the "Ghostery" Safari extension, which blocks many tracking cookies. Also consider using an ad-blocking proxy such as GlimmerBlocker.

Those suggestions won't work for those evil "MacKeeper" ads.


Try, this:

Finder > Macintosh Hd > Library (clear all 'weird' or 'unknown files in these) , Input methods , Internet Plugins , Launch Agents.


Once that is complete get into Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. Quit Safari Restart Mac.


This should work. If not then go back into your Library and start over.
