Did you follow the uninstall instructions to the letter, or just drag it to the trash and empty? If just the latter you didn't complete the uninstall. You still have pieces of MacKeeper running and may need to either reinstall in order to uninstall or follow the directions for manual file removal. It's not much of a secret around why they named it MacKEEPER.

Mar 26, 2016 5:47 PM in response to Linc Davis

I read the instructions before trashing Mac-keeper, but it never asked for a password and the uninstall stuff never came up on my screen either.. I must have a earlier version on my machine i didn't see the other instructions at the bottom of the page.. going to try that now..


btw, the problem with the fan was way before mackeeper, im thinking the fan problem is the reason i downloaded mackeeper in the first place
