A pop up just appeared on my screen saying I have an infected file "Search Manager. dmg and asked to to launch Clean My Mac. Is Clean My Mac safe to use? Should I be concerned?

I am not computer savvy but need protection on my computer from viruses or infected files. I haven't see a pop up like this in a long time.

Any helpful advise would be appreciated.

Detecting/Deleting Malicious Files Hi everyone. I have a pop-up virus (adware/malware i don't know) on my Macbook Air 2017 and I use Mojave 10.14. I have no idea how this came into my computer. I detect LinkBranch and I tried to delete it. I do not want to use any applications which are not on AppStore. I already clean all extensions, apps, cookies etc. But now I have to clean folders like LaunchDaemons, LaunchAgents etc. I don't know which files are malicious in these files. I suspect some of them, In Application Support; regid.1986-12.com.adobe SubmitDiagInfo (which is empty) LaunchDaemons; com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.helper com.polytheism com.sandlogdaemon com.X0wp5 LaunchAgents; com.bc20 com.agyrate.fr com.Peoria_korimako Are these malicious or not? If not, what should I do? I again do not want to use anything which are not on the AppStore. You may suggest AntiVirus programs but they may be an another adware too at the end. Thank you for your help!

Pop-up virus warning on my Mac Pro I get a Pop up that says my Mac Pro has been hacked - torixibre.com. I haven't clicked on anything even though the pop says to "click here" to remove the virus. When I run ADBLOCK this pop up does NOT pop up. How do I get rid of this pop up without using adblock? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
