Your Mac does not require any anti virus or so called “cleaning apps” in fact they can slow down your Mac or completely ruin that install of macOS.
Avoid opening or downloading items from email messages and websites unless you are certain that they come from a legitimate, trusted source. If you’re uncertain about the source, delete the item.

Thanks. Are you saying that CMM is not safe? It is recommended by Apple and people such as Tech Talk.

what do you mean by Tech Talk
Tech Talk America is a site that posts training videos on You Tube. It is run by David A Cox and I have found it to be extremely helpful in understanding Apple programmes and how the Mac works.
