I have a Macbook Pro running High Sierra and this morning when I started up, Avast came up and said that there was a MacOS SpyAgent in Dr. Cleaner Pro Plus.
Never happened before and wondering if this is a false positive or an actual threat. Can't find anything online to suggest that others are or have had the same issue.
Thanks.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Warnings from Avast are bogus. They think the warnings will make you believe it is doing something useful for when in fact it is not. I agree with Klaus uninstall both of those pieces of junk using the appropriate uninstall procedures so that you make sure you get rid of all the bits and piece they have strewn all over the operating system of your Mac.
Get rid of Avast and Dr Cleaner. Such 'maintenance' and 'cleaning' apps can do serious harm to your operating system, and are not required.
