Hello,
I think I have a virus on my Mac book. The name of the website is app5.letitbefaster.world. Mac Keeper is behind it. I read some thing about the virus on the internet but I can't remove it.
Can anyone help me?? How can I remove this virus?

It is a new variant of adware "Pirrit". Please read my blog: Remove MacKeeper virus from your Mac

These folders / subfolders and related .plist are dragged and dropped to the trash .
Also if the app is in download folder it is moved to the trash .
Restart the Mac from apple logo and empty the trash .
The name of mackeeper files could slightly differ , you can run https://etrecheck.com/
And post the results , also Malwarebytes anti malware for Mac is self sufficient and very much effective to remove mackeeper files immediately from Mac .
Because this comes at my screen. Sometimes it is app.1.., than app5.. app4.. Ect.
How do you know you have this thing?
For dealing with adware and the like:
This is Adware. Use Malwarebytes, liked to above.
And, do yourself a favor and delete MacKeeper, it causes problems rather than cures them.
I don't use Mackeeper. I never heard about it before this virus message from today.
I did but Malwarebytes says after the scan that everything is fine..
Virus: app5.letitbefaster.world
