It will scan your Mac, seeking out adware that may be causing your problem. The first would be to download and run Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware for Mac. If it doesn’t, it’s time to employ stronger measures.

My hope is that clearing these cookies will take care of the problem. Use the search field in the resulting window to look for mackeeper. In the Privacy area click the Content Settings button and in the window that appears click the All Cookies and Site Data button. In Chrome, open its preferences and in the Settings window click the “Show advanced settings” link. Search for mackeeper in the sheet that appears and there’s a good chance you’ll find a cookie for. In Safari this means opening Safari’s preferences, clicking the Privacy tab, and then clicking the Manage Website Data button. The first thing I’d suggest you do is remove any MacKeeper-related cookies in your browser. This question is typical of the follow-up email:īut how do I stop MacKeeper notifications from popping up in the Safari and Chrome browsers and asking me to install it?

But for some, that’s only a piece of the puzzle. I recently provided instructions for removing the MacKeeper app from your Mac, along with its component parts.
