Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it. 'remove excess binaries' or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. ☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock or the Launchpad to the Trash. If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
#REMOVE MACKEEPER YOSEMITE SOFTWARE#
All the other functional components of the software will be deleted.
Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. You'll be prompted for your login password. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.įrom the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. Somehow its wormed my way on to my MBA to the point where the computer is almost unusable. If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper-for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying-then you'll have to reinstall it and start over. Ive seen MacKeeper many times in the past and to my knowledge, have NEVER installed or run the program. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions. Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
