Yes, if you can. It has a horrible reputation.

You may have difficulty getting rid of it. If so, one method is to use Malwarebytes: Free Cyber Security & Anti-Malware Software | Malwarebytes

Also, if you got it while "downloading other things" you may want to consider in the future where you download things from. The best options are the Mac App Store and the developers' own websites. Third party aggregation sites are frequent sources of the type of problem you are having.
