Malware and Removal/Cleanup
Although I do not have a malware issue that I am aware of, I receive the following information. Is this valid? Do you trust any of the Apps in this article?

You're welcome. Just to expand on that... No Anti-Virus software or so-called “cleaning” apps are needed or recommended for Mac OS. They can conflict with Mac's own built-in security. At best they will slow your Mac by using unnecessary resources and at worst will bork your entire system. Your Mac has all the built-in protection you need.

Adware is a different issue and the only exception is Malwarebytes which was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac. It’s the only one recommended by Apple Support Reps.
