    Can't help without knowing about your Mac. Please note these posting guidelines Apple posted for the forums:

     

    To help other members answer your question, give as many details as you can.

    • Include your product name and specs such as processor speed, memory, and storage capacity. Please do not include your Serial Number, IMEI, MEID, or other personal information.
    • Provide the version numbers of your operating system and relevant applications, for example "iOS 6.0.3" or "iPhoto 9.1.2".
    • Describe the problem, and include any details about what seems to cause it.
    • List any troubleshooting steps you've already tried, or temporary fixes you've discovered.

     

    You have found the forum for Apple hardware made before 1998 that gets almost no views. I doubt your Mac is that old. Once we know what Mac model and Mac OSX verison you have, we can get you moved to a more active forum.

    Your Mac will not tell you this. You have probably found some adware pop-up on a web site that is pointing you to scamware. The Mac OS has plenty of built-in routinnes to do the cleaning automatically. The only thing "Clean your Mac" products clean out is your wallet.
