Mackeeper Issue

[slowcoach]

Hi I was on the speedtest.net site and clicked on something that started installing mackeeper

The installation cannot seem to complete and I can't stop it and I can't restart my machine even if I try force quit

Any tips on what the problem is and what I can do to remove it?

According to the Apple support page, Mackeeper is malware and should not be installed...

A little concerned now


thanks

Mackeeper is a malware you should avoid.
I did try removing from one of my customer but unsuccessful end up redoing her Mac book air. Her Mac is so slow.
But I will suggest that you try google the remover instruction, then see if you haven any side effect on my Mac 1st. Cause usually osx don't really get effected very well.
