Hi Ronni and Michael, I remember having made the mistake of installing MacKeeper some years back and was lucky to notice the many warnings about this devilish application on WAMUG. Ronni’s instructions were very helpful in getting rid of every bit of this application lurking on my drive. Since then I have a note warning myself never to even be curious about the MacKeeper and also NOT to try it!
All members of my family using Apple computers have been warned by me not to even look at their site! I am so ever grateful to WAMUG and Ronni for the many hints and instructions given to make my iMacs and Macbook work on reliably. Cheers everyone and Safe Weekend, Philippe Chaperon On 13 Apr 2018, at 11:12 am, Michael Hawkins <michael.hawk...@mjhawkins.com.au> wrote: Thanks Ronni. I shutdown, started in Safe mode, searched for MacKeeper and removed every trace I could find of it. Looked in places like Preferences as well.
