If anyone ever doubted that MacKeeper is a disease..........

From another thread I learned about DetectX and downloaded it. The only item it found in all of its searches was a 3 year old MacKeeper document in my Library Preferences called: .3FAD0F65-FC6E-4889-B975-B96CBF807B78

Clicking on DetectX's "Send to Trash" did not get rid of the MacKeeper document.

I managed to find the file (it was invisible) and attempted to move it to the trash. I got a dialogue box that says: "The operation can’t be completed because backup items can’t be modified."

Now, however, like any other viral disease, the MacKeeper file is replicating itself. Instead of just the one, I now have about 20 documents with the same name.

Any thoughts on how to purge my drive of the pernicious MacKeeper file (now files)?
