Should I download now that says "clean up your mac after visiting risky sites" or is it a scam. I do have a firewall.

Scams get through all computers; the scammers continually change their methods so there is no way to prevent them. You figure out a way today and they'll think of another way tomorrow.


It also depends on what websites you visit; some allow scammers because they get paid for it. I get very few, but then I do not visit questionable sites or even social media.
