Turn off Mackeeper

Anyone know how to disable MacKeeper and MegaBackup? I don't want these two things continue to run in groups. I tried to close and then down in the activity monitor, but it did not work. Thank you.

A

'MacKeeper' is a scam with only a handy feature: it deletes itself.

If you have removed incompletely MacKeeper - for example, by dragging the application to the trash and empty it immediately - so you will need to reinstall and start over.

Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.

IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls a function of "encryption". In my tests, I did not try to verify what actually makes this function. If you used to 'Encrypt' one of your folders, 'read' before uninstall, or (preferably) to restore files from backups made before they have been "encrypted". As the developer is not trustworthy, you have to assume that the 'decrypted' files are corrupt, unless evidence to the contrary.

Please backup all data before making any changes.

In the Finder, select

▹ Applications go

from the menu bar, or press shift-command-A key combination. In the folder that opens the 'MacKeeper' application. Quit smoking it runs, and then drag it to the trash. You will be asked for your login password. Click on the button uninstall MacKeeper in the dialog box that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be removed. Restart the computer and empty the trash.

☞ MacKeeper leave before dragging it to the trash.

☞ Leave MacKeeper remove its other components before you to empty.

☞ try not to drag MacKeeper leave the Dock or dashboard in the trash.

☞ do not try to remove MacKeeper when running in safe mode.

"MegaBackup" is an application of unworthy of trust-storage cloud or perhaps real malware. I have not tried to make this distinction. To remove it, please start back up all the data (not with the MegaBackup himself, of course). Then take the steps below.

1 Select the elements of the connection tab in the users pane and groups of system preferences. Remove all elements with a name starting in 'MegaBackup '.

2 log off or restart the computer.

3. slide the MegaBackup application in the Applications to the trash and empty folder.

Note that you cannot delete any application trying to drag its icon from the LaunchPad or the Dock. You must open the Applications folder in the Finder.

May have installed ad-injection malware with "MegaBackup." If you don't see unaccustomed pop-up in a web browser, ask for additional instructions.

  • Access code is lost as soon as the screen turns off

    When I turn my wrist after that my Apple Watch screen exploded, I need to enter the access code. I turn on the wrist, the screen turns off, I turn back, screen lights up, I need to re-enter the password. And so on and so forth. The watch does not maintain the code.

    I am white white, is not dense hairs on my wrist, no tattoos and I wear the watch very well on my skin.

    The funny thing is: it is a replacement watch, I got today. The other had the same problem, but this is probably because the bottom of the watch with the sensors fell, must have damaged the sensor cable. But this one is brand new.

    Hello

    Make sure the wrist detection is enabled:

    Possible explanation.  It is likely that batteries, so fresh, can be irregular in size.   The uncertain connection would therefore tend to lead to a failure to blink and you declare.   Read my thing...

  • iPad IOS 10 - AutoCorrect keyboard does not turn off?

    I don't know if it is a problem of IOS 10 or if it is a question of the iPad. One of the first things I do when I get a new device is turn off easily. I hate to correct automatically, but it seems not turning off itself. I was typing a message to a friend of mine and to instead keep the word I typed (Pervy) it replaces (Percy).

    I just upgraded to IOS 10 and checked to see if the AutoCorrect has been disabled or if she has it on again. Even with typing this message, it keeps replacing words on me with words that I don't type and are not what they should be. It is not a question of spelling either, so I don't know what to do to fix, but it's very annoying.

    Hello. You may also need to disable predictive. If you are using a physical keyboard, there are different settings for it. They appear only when it is connected.
