Hello,
Thanks for your attempt to help. Unfortunately, is not what you suggest. As a matter of fact, the costly icon is on my computer now.
This is what it looks like. It also says "System Scan is recommended.
It may simply be the icon to select when changing to another user profile. Open Uers & Groups. Click on the lock icon and enter your admin password. Click on the Login Options button. The fourth checkbox is labeled, "Show Fast User switching ...." If it is checked, then uncheck it. This will make the icon disappear in your menubar.
If this is not the issue, then you have installed something that causes the icon to appear in your menubar.
MacKeeper does not install itself, you or some other user installed it (possibly by mistake) now you or some other user will need to remove it.
Trashing it will cause more problems, look up the removal method on the website.
It's MacKeeper (says so on the icon) which you would be well advised to get rid of
Yes, that is what I want. How do I do it? thanks
Uninstall it, do it properly (per the vendors instructions), don't just throw it in the trash.
I was suggested to go to Applications and just throw it in the trash. I did not downloaded it. Would that do it? Uninstall it? Don't know how to do that. Please advise anyone, thanks
Thank you all "Little an gone"
