advanced monitoring agent app

I am trying to install McAfee on my Mac and it won't allow it because it says I have another virus software running. Nothing shows up when I try to force quit programs. I found an app called Advanced Monitoring Agent, which I think is a virus/malware. I attempted to delete it through managing apps and dragging it to trash. Nothing seems to delete the app. Any suggestions?

Malware - commonupdater Hello, I recently tried to download an online game to play on my MacBook. Unfortunately it did not work and something called 'commonupdater' downloaded with it. It seems to control the internet (redirects you away from google search engine, creates a ghost safari page on my bottom line of open apps). I moved the app to trash, but it has reappeared a few weeks later. Is there any safe programme that can scan my macOS for any dangerous malware? Thanks for any advice!

Is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac or EtreCheck safe applications to download? I believe there may be some adware/malware installed on my Mac. I've explored apple support community to get an idea of what I should do. However, I read one discussion ("Effective defenses against malware and other threats") that warned against installing antivirus/anti-malware programs. However, I've read other discussions that suggested installing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac or EtreCheck to check for and remove adware/malware. Are those programs actually safe to install? If not, I should I go about resolving the issue?
