Download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac. It will detect Advanced Mac Cleaner as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) and will remove the app and all of its components.

Malwarebytes can remove most portions. But you will need to use EasyFind https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/freeware

if issues persist while in safe mode (holding the shift key at startup) to locate other crumbs it may have left behind. Zeobit, cleaner, AMC may all be plist files and Launchdaemons it might leave behind.
