When using Find Any File.app to do a search, you have the option to use and hold down your keyboard's option key which will invoke a window for you to type in your username password. Doing so will invoke root (the OS X Boss) permissions.
Just hover your pointer over the "Find" window of Find Any File.app and I think it will tell you more in a OS X Cheshire Cat type window that will fade away just before you finish reading what you wanted to know and learn. Yup, annoying and I don't know how it can be kept open to read completely.
PS: When using Find Any File.app to seek and destroy all parts of MacKeeper, use both "MacKeeper" and "Zeobit" in your Find Any File.app searches. Trash and delete any that contain with word.
Then, at least restart id not Shutdown and then boot up.
