MemoryKeeper Free

If you obtained MemoryKeeper from Apple's Mac App Store, all you're supposed to have to do is take the app from your Applications folder and place it into the Trash, then empty the Trash.

Because the app is now unavailable (see above) there isn't a way to examine its contents in order see what flotsam it may have put into your Library folder. Uninstalling 'leftovers' from an app can be complicated and annoying, requiring some assistance and experience. But a place to start is by running Activity Monitor, found in your Utilities folder. See if you find any remnants of MemoryKeeper running, such as a 'helper' or other related process. The search feature in Activity Monitor may help. Once you find what you believe is a related process, highlight it then do a Get Info (Command-i) on it and examine the window that opens. If you see a tab titled "Open Files and Ports", click on it and look through the provided list. It gives you paths to all the files that have been loaded into memory. You can use those paths to find the files. Copy the paths so you can refer to them later. NEXT: Go back to the highlighted process and Quit it. Use the "X" in a circle at the top left of Activity Monitor. You may have to Force Quit it. Once the process is stopped, follow the paths you copied to the loading process files. Be VERY certain that anything you now remove is SPECIFICALLY ONLY related to MemoryKeeper. You never want to remove files you're unsure of as they may be used by other processes/apps as well. You're on your own at this point. Again, having assistance from someone else is very useful as you gain experience in removal of unwanted files. Err on the side of caution.

When you're done removing flotsam, reboot your Mac and verify in Activity Monitor that the offending "leftover" processes no longer boot. I hope this helps.

Brought to you by the makers of MacKeeper? No thank you. And is memory cleaning of the Mac really necessary?

Thank you, Derekcurrie. I appreciate the responsible way you approached this topic. Well done, and respectful of all parties. No way folks can turn what you wrote into an argument. Maybe I'll borrow a phrase or two from you and use this methodology if I find myself in a similar situation in the future. I always count it a good day when I learn something new. Thanks my friend.
