I found Malware on my Macbook Pro called dim.exe

I recently have noticed my computer is running much slower and that I found some weird programs running in the background. I also am receiving pop-ups every month that all of the accounts I have used on my Macbook have been compromised and I need to change the password immediately. That has happened a total of 6 times now since February. I did some research and it says that it is some type of malware, but the only program I could find to extract it was not compatible with Mac OS operating system. They recommended I use Comodo Cleaning Essentials (CCE) with steps to help me clean my computer. I was wondering if anyone knew what else could help because I am a Youtuber as a career and I feel as if my privacy is being breached. Please, any help would be grateful!!
