Uninstall Clean my Mac, also known as Brick my Mac, per the developers instructions and then restart. Honestly one of the worst apps ever written for a Mac.

Good luck, I wouldn't begin to be able to tell you where to look for the 💩 that malware has scattered all over your system. You’re better off erasing the drive, reinstalling MacOS, reinstalling your apps from their original sources and your files from your known good backup. Another option is to reinstall the garbage software and then try to uninstall it per the developers instructions.

CMM can really mess up a mac.
