Hmmm.. ex post facto
I am afraid so. Maybe you can get a refund,
or chalk it up to a learning experience.
A PUP (potentially unwanted program) PUP.Mac Cleanup Pro is a so-called “junk cleaning” app. These system
optimizers try to convince users that their system has problems which
their software can solve. But only if you buy the software.

I would make every effort to remove it from your machine. If you suspect you have installed adware/malware. Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

Anything that promises to clean your Mac is a con to some extent, some worse than others. Do not install it. Macs do their own cleaning and using another tool may damage the system. Also avoid any kind of virus scanner.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have submitted fo refund to the seller as well as PayPal and hoping for the best.
Thanks again. You've been a real help.
