When trying to download Firefox I instead ended up with Opera and MacKeeper. Is this legit or is it a virus? I uninstalled MacKeeper, but can't uninstall Opera.

I've now downloaded Firefox successfully, but would like to uninstall Opera.

The desktop Firefox from www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all does not come with any extras including Opera or MacKeeper. Downloading Firefox from random third-party download sites (that does not link to a *.mozilla.org url for download) may come with extras if you are not careful.
