Your welcome. Please read macOS - Security - Apple. In short NEVER fall for a scam like that and do not install any third party antivirus, cleaning or any other "maintenance" apps on your iMac. Simply keep Mac OS up-to-date and otherwise leave it alone. About the only maintenance you need to do is a simple restart on the computer about 1x per week.

I so appreciate your quick response! It startled me, taking over my screen. But I would never click on something like that without checking first. Thank you again.
