I keep getting a warning from MacKeeper telling me to run a scan

Thanks for the info macjack.

#1-I restarted Safari while holding the shift key.

#2-I went to "Privacy" and I emptied everything.

#3-The "show develop menu" box was already checked. I emptied the cache.

#4-I went to "Manage Website Data" and I deleted all, including one item named "WeKnow.AC" which I previously could not remove from my applications menu.

#5-There was nothing in the "Extensions".

#6-I was still getting the pop-up window for "MacKeeper" so I DL "Malwarebytes".

#7-After scanning my drive with "Malwarebytes" it quarantined 4 threats. No "MacKeeper" found but it did quarantined another file "MyMacUpdater" that I could not remove from my Applications folder before. So I guess it was worthwile DL the "Malwarebytes" program.

Thanks again...

Thanks Eric Root. Whatever I was trying before, including clicking on the "Share report" button, was not working. Here it is if anyone would like to respond. I went over the information and there is too much "no good stuff" for me to figure out.

Thanks in advance,

End of report

That is not what I was told at GeekSquad. Thanks for the info. I believe you. For several years I though of Kasperski as being the best protection since it was taking care of incidents that were regularly popping up on my screen without it.

Thanks for advising on uninstall. I was already having a problem with a link to do exactly that (uninstall).

As far as increasing memory, are we talking about a new hard drive? I don't believe I can just increase memory with what I have. If that is the case I would have done it some time ago. You have to understand that I am not computer literate...or at least partially literate. :-)

I have uninstalled Kaspersky

Booted into "recovery mode"

Utilities-terminal-"csrutil enable"

Restarted Mac

I still have the MacKeeper window but only on my starting page of the browser.

Now I have an additional problem. After reboot small windows started opening up one on top of the other. They all wanted to add extensions and all from the same developer "Legacy Developer:Hp". If I click on "OK" for all of them, they reappear within seconds.

Is this a major problem?

I do have a HP printer but I don't know if that is what it is. The thing is that those small windows have stopped showing on my Mac. I will play around sending commands to my printer and see if it runs into problems.
