Restart then uninstall again. Do you see any remnants of MacKeeper in the Applications folder?

What is MacKeeper and why are people installing it in the first place?

It's a system maintenance/anti-virus suite of highly-questionable value, the makers of which rely on fairly shady, spam-ish marketing to get you to install, including Windows-ish web pop-ups of the "Your computer may be infected" ilk.

Ah interesting, thank you. Apple should pull the malware switch on it, it appears.

I think I'll walk back in for a while and ban that person.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
