Oops! My commiserations. Accidentally installing this rubbish seems to be becoming an increasingly easy thing to do. Removing it is a complex problem. One approach can be found at http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/ <http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/> A more general discussion of alternate techniques can be found at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3877254?tstart=0 <https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3877254?tstart=0> MacKeeper itself pretends to offer an uninstall feature, but all reports indicate that it doesn’t remove absolutely everything. The techniques found in the above URLs are buch more effective, albeit considerably more involved.
