how to uninstall MacKeeper

First, that's an almost comically bad video... you can't see what's going on on the screen most of the time, it spends time stepping through things that are not hard to figure out on your own and you have to listen to the guy's sniffles the whole time. And then he puts his thumb over the lens for a while at the end! 😁

As for using this to solve a problem with constant MacKeeper pop-up ads, this is total overkill and may be utterly inadequate, depending on details of how you proceed after reinstalling the system. If you restore from a backup, for example, you may just restore the adware that is causing the problem.

For a real solution to this problem, see some of the other recent advice on this topic.

Avast is crap that should never be used on a Mac, and it will not remove MacKeeper, since MacKeeper is merely junk and not actually malware. I'm not sure what makes you think Avast will remove it.

Firstly i have just downloaded Yosemite.

Yeah their advertising is misleading. I just got rid of it as well.

Who is behind this scam program?

ZeoBIT was the original creator of MacKeeper. They "sold" it to Kromtech a while back, although there has been some confusion as to whether they were actually separate companies or not, so it's possible Kromtech is nothing more than a "holding" company they spun off to own MacKeeper.

I have stupidly not only downloaded and paid for Mackeeper, but I paid one of their representatives to 'clean and service' my computer. You mention 'unencrypting' any data that was encrypted with Mackeeper but can you please advise how to do this? As someone from Mackeeper has done this for me, I haven't a clue how to undo it before uninstalling. Thank you.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
