One day when starting up my Macbook, Mackeeper showed up in my downloads menu and launched an empty page on Safari. It is not a downloaded app, I never downloaded it. It just appears in my downloads menu. What do I do to get rid of this popping up every time I start up my computer?
Mackeeper in my downloads?

G'day and welcome to the forums.
Very dodgy software our friend Mackeeper, regarded as malware by some and slime ware by others. Have a read of this link and the responses in fine print at the foot of the page to remove the package.
