how to remove mac adware cleaner pop up window

I have a pop up window whenever I'm in google chrome that says, "Recommended download, install mac adware cleaner" now to protect our mac device from malware, adware and other security threats. Is this a real pop up or an adware?

How do i get rid of it?

Finding adware in the Applications folder is a rarity. Usually, they're either an extension in Safari, or they've been installed to the LaunchAgents and/or LaunchDaemons folders in your user account. And don't expect them to be easy to spot names.


MalwareBytes for Mac is by far the easiest way to remove adware.
