What is Mackeeper?

Mackeeper is a software application commonly marketed as an all-in-one utility for Mac devices. However, many users have complained about its intrusive ads and aggressive marketing tactics. If you no longer find Mackeeper useful or if it was unintentionally installed, it’s time to uninstall it from your computer.

Step 1: Quit Mackeeper Processes

In order to remove Mackeeper, you need to first quit all the processes associated with it.

  • In the Activity Monitor, search for any processes related to Mackeeper.
  • Select the processes one by one and click on the “X” button in the top left corner to force quit them.

Step 2: Delete Mackeeper Application

  • In the top menu, click on “Go” and then “Applications.”
  • Locate the Mackeeper application in the Applications folder.
  • Drag the Mackeeper application to the Trash (you can also right-click and select “Move to Trash”).

  • Open each browser you use (such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox) and go to its settings/preferences.
  • Look for options to restore/reset the browser to its default settings.
