How to Remove MacKeeper from Your Computer

MacKeeper has been around for a very long time. It is an excellent program. It is marketed as a collection of utilities, apps, and services that are designed to keep your Mac clean, virus-free, and running at peak performance.

Previously, some users discovered that MacKeeper caused more problems than it solved. This was due to a bug in the software. Former versions of MacKeeper were infamous for being difficult to uninstall, but the most recent version is a piece of cake to uninstall.

Note: Please ensure that all of your files have been decrypted using MacKeeper's Data Encryptor before uninstalling the program if you have used any of MacKeeper's encryption options to protect any of your files. Important:
