I see this message showing up thousands of times in Console. Can anyone tell me what it is and if I should try to stop whatever is causing it?

Hi,
Have you previously, or has a previous owner of your machine installed MacKeeper? It is without doubt one of the most unfriendly apps in our fraternity.

See this for some advice please how to uninstall MacKeeper – updated « Phil Stokes

Although I never actually installed MacKeeper, there were files in my Library. They are now gone and no longer receiving messages. Thank you for the help.

Hi,
I believe that this can happen. Glad to see it's sorted.
