Even if they get you to download the MacKeeper installer, you still cannot be forced to actually install the software. I just did that last Fall, when my hard drive crashed, and it is a real pain!Īs the other sources (and comments here) have said, clicking OK isn't enough to cause trouble. I really don’t want to recreate all the bookmarks and favorite links, that I have on Safari, to Firefox.
#MACKEEPER KEEPS POPPING UP ON MY MAC SAFARI HOW TO#
How can I trust him, when others, have had problems with MacKeeper, and some experts have called it “malware”? I have a hard time trusting a company that has a reputation for selling malware.Ĭan anyone tell me how to get rid of the pop-up box, without clicking on the “OK” button? I can’t use my Safari, until it is gone. I have heard of other cleaner apps, that have done the same thing, so I don’t trust any of them.Īlso on the same discussion, someone from MacKeeper answered, saying that it is totally safe, and clicking on “OK” wouldn’t do anything. On that discussion, a couple people said that clicking the “OK” button, won’t allow MacKeeper to be installed on my hard drive, but I don’t trust MacKeeper, to not do it behind the scenes. It came onto my browser without being invited. I did not want anything to do with MacKeeper. That user had intentionally installed MacKeeper, and uninstalled it, but missed a file in the uninstall, and was able to delete it in the Library. How can I safely close this window and forever avoid seeing similar pop-ups from Mackeeper Zeobit's malware and spyware? I found a question, here on Super User, about essentially the same thing: So essentially, MacKeeper has hijacked my browser, but apparently hasn't installed itself on my hard drive. If I go to the application Library, it is not there either. I went to Finder, to see if MacKeeper had installed itself on my hard drive, and it is not in my /Applications folder.
I also can’t close the pop-up window, because there is no black “x” on it either. I tried clicking on the black “x”, one the tabs, but there is no black “x”.
I am guessing MacKeeper figures people will eventually get frustrated, and give in, clicking the button, allowing MacKeeper onto the hard drive.Īll of my tabs have the rotating circle, indicating something is happening, but the websites, on those tabs, can’t be opened. I also thought when I turned my computer back on, The MacKeeper pop-up window would be gone, and then I could close the MacKeeper website.
I thought if I shut down the computer, it would stop the app from running, which would prevent it from downloading on my hard drive. When it first started, I panicked, and pushed the power button, because it froze all the tabs and Safari functions, and I didn’t want it to download to my hard drive. Now, there is no way to get out of the website either. There is an "OK" button, but no way to close out of the box. We recommend to clean your Mac with MacKeeper - award-winning system utility. The ONLY option is to click "OK", which I refuse to do, because I know almost all of these "cleaner" apps are malware, with hidden stroke counting codes. I clicked on a link, to go to a website (not MacKeeper), and the window opened for MacKeeper, with a pop-up to let MacKeeper clean my Mac. I would rather use Safari, since that is where my bookmarks and favorite links are on the toolbar.Ī MacKeeper ad was in the sidebar, of the page I was on. I have had to open Firefox, in order to get to the internet. MacKeeper ( ) has hijacked my Safari browser.
