MacKeeper is hijacking the safari browser, and takes me to one of several sites, tuneupmymac.com, detoxmymac.com, and the MacKeeper has hijacked the opening screen of safari, which should be google.com, but is now onlysearch.com or only-search.com, which has a little icon in the lower left of the screen.

You need to remove any items in the Keychains that contain MacKeeper or zeobit.

Check to see if any processes called MacKeeper, zeobit or 911 bundle are still running.

If you see any of these, click on the process and hit Quit Process.

Finally, go to your Applications folder and remove MacKeeper.app by moving it to the Trash.

In System Preferences - Users Groups (or Accounts if youre using OS X Snow Leopard 10.6) - Login Items.

If MacKeeper or anything related to it is listed there, highlight it and click the - button to remove it.

Most likely you will need to use his direct link: I am going to run AVAST and ClamXav.

Click on it, and BAM they want to help you Get a Faster Mac with TuneupMyMac.com, and now goes also to bulletflix.com advancedmaccare.com (MacBooster).

Its getting out of control.

I am running OS X 10.9.5, the computer 2 is months old, and I switched to Mac from windows because windows is the worst programOS imaginable.

I followed the instructions above and have looked in all folders on the hard drive, everywhere, and there is nothing in the caches, LaunchDaemons, LaunchAgents, Preferences, or in any folder.

However, i have used the apple diagnostics and found that two permissions are being changed.

Can anyone provide further support Thank you for your thoughts.

Mackeeper infected our home Mac Mini today, and although the app was quickly trashed we couldnt find the hidden files it had thrown into the system.

They hijacked Safari, causing redirects to ads on every link we clicked.

The solution was found at We downloaded this utility and it quickly found the 4 files hidden deep in the system.

Deleted them, then restarted the Mac Mini, and Mackeeper was 100 percent history -- no more redirects, no more ads, no more hijacking Safari.
