Hi Adrian There are lots of "good" reviews on it. However,...and the following is my personal opinion.. Any program/company that advertises the way it does, and has pop ups on some of the sites I use (even though I have pop ups turned off) doesn't get my vote. Also, the software does seem to put "its hooks" through the system a lot. Something I don't particularly care for. And, lastly if you do a search for "MacKeeper pop ups" you'll see a lot of reviews on people that have a) installed it and found it not good and b) had trouble removing it.
Here for example is one thread on it:- <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2786697?start=0&tstart=0> There's just something about that software I can't quite put my finger on it,...but I personally don't like it. The threat of it doing more damage then good can also be a bit of a worry. ;o) Again, this is just my personal opinion. The second part to your question, is sort of in the answer above. In that it installs components all over the system. And the "removal" tool doesn't seem to get them all. So you have to do lots to get rid of it. That is part the problem. Hope that helps a little.
