MacKeeper hijacks your Mac Browsers and shoots you with tons of unwanted pop-ups that locks up the browser as per the Apple forums, it is classed as a “highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system”. Straight forward resets of the browser will not work therefore you will need to delete savedState configuration from the Library.
 
Though there are numerous methods to remove MacKeeper, I’ll only list the one that worked in the first attempt for me and many others I helped.
