[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1801523, member: 56379"] Hey there Keith. I'm not saying 100% that this is what happened. But since you mentioned downloading "BBC iPlayer"...and I don't know where you downloaded it from. But there are many, many, many what I would call "generic" download sites out there. These are legitimate downloading sites for free, demo, or trial software. Many times these legit download sites are CRAMMED with advertisments for many many products...and there are "download" buttons everywhere. Many times it's difficult to find the correct download button for the product you're looking to download. For example...you may have wanted to download the "BBC iPlayer" app...and may have accidentially clicked on a "MacKeeper" download button inadvertently. Then MacKeeper may have auto-installed itself. This may have been how you ended up with MacKeeper. Just a possibility.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
