Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. In the folder, there may be one or more files with a name beginning as follows: Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and selectįrom the contextual menu.* A folder named "LaunchAgents" should open. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
Quit the "ZipCloud" or "JustCloud" application, if it's running, and drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash. To remove ZipCloud, start by backing up all data (not with ZipCloud itself, of course.) Although ZipCloud may not be malicious itself, it should be suspected by virtue of the company it keeps. The OS X client is sometimes distributed along with malware. "ZipCloud," sometimes named "JustCloud," is a cloud-storage service with a doubtful reputation. ☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode. ☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock or the Launchpad to the Trash. ☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash. ☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.

If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper-for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying-then you'll have to reinstall it and start over. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions. Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. "MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
