CleanMyMac is borderline Malware and should be removed from your iMac. Feel free to use the Search option on the top of this screen and enter "CleanMyMac" to see all of the problems related to this app.


The app does not make it easy to uninstall either, as it leaves files lingering on your system that will remain on startup. For removing, start with the provided uninstaller, then use EtreCheck to verify all files have been removed. EtreCheck can be downloaded for free and you can post the report here using the "Additional Text" option when posting.

No problem. After uninstalling feel free to post the EtreCheck report here to verify all files have been removed. The report will also show other files that are running after startup that could be removed to help clean up your System.


For further assistance in cleaning your Mac, please provide what you are trying to accomplish or the files you would like to be removed and we can provide additional guidance.
