How to Remove Advanced Mac Cleaner Virus

I have just noticed on My Macbook Air that window pop up on my Macbook Air apps Advanced Mac Cleaner and inform me that its start to scan my Mac and save my Macbook from errors.

Last night my younger brother was used my Macbook Air and i suppose accidentally he was installed this utility. Is it good for my Mac or should i uninstalled it right now. Because scan is complete already and its shows me 1389 Errors on my Macbook Air. Should i purchase this tool full version or remove it. because on other discussion thread on apple website here i just noticed that everyone share their bad experience and recommended to uninstall. Advanced Mac Cleaner is fake virus utility. What to do now. Should i remove these 1389 errors or uninstall it

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

I downloaded and installed malwarebytes. Had to run the scan, clear the quarantine, empty the trash and restart my MacBook Pro twice, but it finally got rid it. Here's the link: Malwarebytes | Free Cyber Security & Anti-Malware Software

I was able to drag and drop one of 2 Advanced Mac Cleaners to the trash. I emptied the trash and tried to drag the 2nd, but nothing happened. Should I restart my iMac to make the 2nd AMC go away?

There is no link in the post you reference. So pressing it is not an option you should worry about.

I noticed it today I removed it straight away. Then I scanned my iMac for Viruses, 7 came up with Advance Mac cleaner.

And you believed them? Think about it, that's how they sell their service to you.

Ahh, that's a good question... if he scanned WITH Advanced Mac Cleaner, I wouldn't trust those results. 🙂
