OMG!
I made a VERY stupid mistake and let MacKeeper load their program on my MacBookPro. Is there a way to wipe that crap from my PC and get back the contents of iPhoto? It was all, (thousands) deleted by this program.

Unless you made a backup, any photos removed are lost.
I accidentally installed that crap (MacKeeper) on my computer and my Google Chrome browser got ruined for good.
After I manually removed any related MacKeeper files and even deinstalled and reinstalled
Chrome, the adware came back with multiple shady ads on my browser's windows.
The only solution it worked for me was to reformat my hard drive by doing
the fresh reinstallation of OSX. After that no more bloody MacKeeper. This is why it's important to backup all your
files. I used my regular backup hard drive instead of Time Machine so I don't know whether MacKeepr can corrupt
Time Machine if it was backing your whole computer during the moment when the MacKeepr got donwloaded and installed.
In summary, erasing your Mac and reinstalling your latest OSX seems to be the most effective way to get rid of any persistent adwares.
I don't like this solution but sometimes you gotta do it if the problem comes back over and over.
