Hi I've been looking to delete mackeeper. I've read some stuff online and it says drag it to the the trash from finder. When I do this it asks for my main computer password and this makes me feel scared like a virus weaving it's way inside. What can I do?

It is normal for MacKeeper to require your password to delete it.

MacKeeper required your password to install it due to the nature of what it does to your system. MacKeeper requires your password to delete it as well. Once deleted following the instructions here, it is really gone.

I feel scared to put a password

You already did that once, at least, when you installed MacKeeper. That would have been the right time to feel scared. The version that I tested about a year ago uninstalled cleanly according to the developer's instructions.

As I wrote earlier, you've already given full permission to MacKeeper to do whatever it wants. Uninstalling it now doesn't involve any additional risk.

Thank you so much for helping me. Do you think my computer is in danger such as my password or anything?

No more so than providing your password to anything else. You should only do that when you understand the reason for supplying those credentials. As I wrote earlier this action was initially required to allow MacKeeper to install all the files it uses to modify your system. It is also required to delete those files, when you want to get rid of MacKeeper and everything it does.

Did you use MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders? If you did, be sure to use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them prior to deleting it.
