I got scammed by US IT Websoft LLC when trying to upgrade my MS 365 for MacBook Pro. What free software does Apple recommend to scan and clean any malware on my computer.
Stupid me.....Error code flashed when I was trying to enter a product code ....and I fell for it.
Good reminder to be very cautious....

Sorry to hear that. Apparently this is a very common scam. The following Discussion included what the OP thought was a link to the Microsoft product activation website, but it was fraudulent: i am trying to activate my office - Apple Community.
The [redacted] link bore a resemblance to the Microsoft's legitimate website, but "close enough" doesn't count with such things.

So they had access to your Mac, sufficient to install software.
As they have had access to your machine you cannot assume anything on there is secure.
Apple recommends no such software at all.
Can you explain what happened in detail, including what access these people had to your computer.
They loaded WebRoot and CCleaner and supposedly upgraded....had total access.....awful mistake
Thank you and will do … already ran malwarebytes ; going into Mac repair tomorrow after backup and then following your direction.
