True. However, even though I have not clicked on it, it installs itself on my hard-drive. I have dumped it over and over and it shows up about once every week. Persistent little devil! Any other ideas????
Malwarebytes - https://www.malwarebytes.com/pricing/ - There are different versions available depending upon what features you want.. For a single removal without ongoing monitoring you can probably use the free version.
Don't click on any buttons saying "install".
Thank you, i
I hope installing this gets rid of future problems with Advanced Mac Cleaner.
