Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
There is this extremely annoying virus called Mac auto fixed that is potentially damaging the operating software system of the Mac.I have downloaded a legit clean my Mac type of software but cannot trace it.I cannot trace it in neither the applications or anywhere else.
It's not a virus; it may be adware or malware.
So, do you get this as a pop up or ??
And, I do not understand this at all - sorry:
have downloaded a legit clean my Mac type of software
Did you download some sort of "cleaning" app? They are absolutely not necessary and can do more harm than good since they clean so well that they eliminate some system software which is needed.
All clean-, guard-, protect-, antivirus-, etc, apps are to be avoided as the plague, as Babowa nicely said.
In the forum here we often use a diagnosis app called Etrecheck, which produces a list that can be posted here. In the list some things are in red print with a Clean/Remove button next to this: use that button !! Normally these "ads" are removed.
Did you mean Mac Auto Fixer? You can remove it with malwarebytes
