You're all replying to a post that is over a year old. There's a very easy way to completely get rid of MacKeeper:

You can check to see if you've removed all of the files by downloading and running Find Any File to search for any files with the application's name and the developer's name in the file name. For example for MacKeeper you'd do two searches:

1 - Name contains mackeeper

2 - Name contains zeobit

Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop for deletion.

FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.

Its easy to remove Mackeeper from MAC.

Go to FINDER > APPLICATIONS > SELECT MACKEEPER > CMD+DELETE

But sometimes you’ll stuck with Mackeeper Virus which may interrupt you in Safari & other browsers after uninstalling it. And people / Service Center suggests you to reinstall MacOS.

Before that try this steps:

Install MalwareByte and remove all the files which are related to Mackeeper by Scanning.

After that, Install CleanMyMac software and clean everything and uninstall MalwareByte from CleanMyMac. And uninstall CleanMyMac and Restart your Mac.

I hope this will help you to solve your issue. It worked for me, hope that will work for you too.

ATTENTION: since this topic is over a year old each of you should create your own separate topic, give the details of what you're trying to remove and download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC and recommended by Apple Support to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.

This way each of you will get personalized responses and it won't be so difficult to follow the thread.

Hey! I had the same issue and it took me forever to try to get it off my Mac. Eventually, I just ended up using this site to fix the issue. Solved it in under 5 minutes! http://uninstallmackeeper.com/

I finally figured it out. first you need to force quit it, then you will go to finder and do command shift a and drag it to the trash and empty it

First off, politeness isn't a virtue. I tried multiple methods also using that which you posted. Thank you for your post as it worked and as you said describes a solution that is very simple and easy to follow.

You're welcome. Often old posts are resurrected a year or longer after the fact. The folks who originally answered may no longer be around and often new and better solutions are available. It's usually best to start your own topic in this case. You'll get more attention that way and not be stuck in a topic going nowhere.
