I would recommend uninstalling this application as soon as possible. This application is known to cause trouble, scaring people to believe that they have issues with their computer.


To make sure it is completely removed from your mac, I would recommend installing Malwarebytes to remove the app and all of its files completely.

This happened to me. I know for a fact i did not install anything intentionally so this SONS OF B****S sneaked another way.

anyhow, malwarebytes seems to be able to find them all (its more than just mac cleaner pro)

Here are the locations i found the viruses... i figured it may help someone be able to manually find this very well hidden malwares (i erased my username just for fun of it :))
