You have downloaded and installed malware. I don't know what "another program which I don't trust" is, since you didn't specify, but pretty much the only trusted anti-malware program is AdWareMedic. It's free, was written by a member of these forums, and doesn't stay running after you quit it.

If you don't want to download a program to clean this up for you, see my Adware Removal Guide for manual removal instructions. Specifically, see the Buca Apps removal instructions to deal with the cinemapro1-2 stuff. Note, though, that you should go through the whole guide, just to see if you have anything else installed. Sometimes adware installs in groups, and removing one doesn't get it all.
