Get the uninstaller and remove Clean My Mac. Worse piece of junk I've seen on a Mac.

You also have 2, or more, adware apps installed (Clean My Mac didn't do it's job).

Run Malwarebytes to clean the adware.

Some websites are just click-bait destinations (that you should avoid) and you should not click any buttons, rollovers, or pop-up panels of any kind that suggest downloads, phone numbers, or appear as fake Apple support dialogs. Use common sense, and only download specific software that you need from the original vendor website, or not at all.
