Q: Pop-ups everywhere....Maybe malware?
I have a MacBook Pro, and I have started getting pop-up windows whenever I click (or sometimes even when typing) while using the internet. These problems started after I installed MacKeeper...which I quickly discovered was a terrible mistake. I uninstalled MacKeeper and updated my software, but I keep getting pop-ups. What can I do to stop them?? They're driving me crazy, and I'm worried I may have malware. Is the security of my computer compromised? Is it possible I accidentally downloaded something else? How can I get rid of it and "clean" my mac?
MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.2

Probably 'adware.'
See The Safe Mac -> Adware Removal Guide. You may be able to use Thomas's Adware Removal Tool.
Good luck,
