The question is “where is the other stuff?” I've already answered it…Reverse/delete the other stuff, tooMacKeeper might leave stuff in other places.Put Mackeeper in the trash, remove other stuff, then empty trash. And switch back to google.Again, Yahoo! is safe, but if Mackeeper is changing it to a fake version then try to look up how to remove Mackeeper. I recently accidently got mackeeper. i uninstalled it, but i think theres still leftovers. example: it set my default search engine to a weird mock of yahoo.com, and i changed my search engine back to google in the preferences. but when i came back, it was still that weird yahoo! can anyone tell me the reason?
(also, trashing the app does not delete the other stuff.)

If Malwarebytes supports Mac, get it. It's good for that sort of stuff.The question is “where is the other stuff?” I've already answered it…Reverse/delete the other stuff, tooMacKeeper might leave stuff in other places.Put Mackeeper in the trash, remove other stuff, then empty trash.

Don't trust Norton. It is the equivalent of Mackeeper. And Norton kept opening popups with rubbish like “Your computer could turn in a zombie possessed by hackers!!1!”

I think it would be stupid to just put it in the recycling bin,
NOTE: Some programs know when you are trying to remove them, so they won't let you.

OS X does not have programs installed like that. Ideally, programs on OS X should be within self-contained .app folders, but some, like MacKeeper, install their components everywhere.Try going into Change or remove a programyeah. how do i get rid of the crumbs? the crumbs/leftovers is whats causing it.MacKeeper might leave stuff in other places.Put Mackeeper in the trash, remove other stuff, then empty trash.

OK. You did hear of a zip bomb, and guess what? I have it on my hard disk. 120GB Samsung drive, and I will NOT (but can at school) execute it. It is the 42KB to 4PB zip. I got close by compressing 400MB into 1MB, and wound out with over 400 files, due to it splitting it.

Well pretty much everyone knows that mac used to be virus free, so it was the best computer ever existing, until more viruses that could surpass the super powerful Mac “VirusWall”(?) were ejected by idiots. RIP virus-free Mac.

It's about a 4.25 average.

Macs where never virus free, it's just malware for OS X is less common. Plus modern Macs come with malware preinstalled (See the above post ^^)What? what don't you understand?wat?
