I've tried every single suggestion online other then upgrading my OS (need to keep it the same for a little longer until I finish a project with a specific software). Can anyone help? My machine crashes non-stop Posting an EtreCheck Report:

Hi Jack - thank you for the response. Yes, I saw Cleanmymac in the report too. I was very surprised to see it in there. I had it installed very briefly and "removed/uninstalled" it long ago. However, I just looked and I can not see it anywhere. I do not see it in applications, nor do I see it in the library. I searched the computer and the library for both "cleanmymac" and "macpaw" - I do not see it in any of these library folders either:
Where could it be hidden?
I've tried to turn on Apple Security numerous times and it fails. Terminal: csrutil - I'll try it again though. Note: Since the first day of owning this mac it's been a little weird. When I boot it up, very, very seldom does it ask for a password, but often asks for a password when waking from sleep.
Yes, I have tried the below (many, many times):
When starting in safe mode, I think it only crashed once. But not in safe mode, sometimes it only crashes a few times a day, but many days now it will crash like 50 times. Very frustrating.

Uninstall any and all third party Antivirus, Cleaners, Optimizers, VPN, speeder uppers....
<Antivirus software: CleanMyMac>
If you did not use the "official" in-app uninstaller—typically you have to re-install it, in order to uninstall it.
If in doubt search the developers website. It certainly is known to cause nothing but issue.
You hard drive is full— < 499.08 GB (458.08 GB used, 40.74 GB free)>
SSD function most efficiently need ~20-25% free storage at all times—I'll let you do the math.
HDD can get away with a bit less ~10-15% free storage.
Do some general housekeeping
FYI - Tried to uninstall cleanmymac with "official uninstaller". Did not work according to EtreCheck. Downloaded and ran Find Any File Rebooted in safe mode and searched for files with "cleanmymac" or "macpaw" in the file name. Nothing showed up in "cleanmymac search, but 12 files showed up in "macpaw" search (and cleanmymac was in the name of those files). Trashed them.
HOWEVER - this did not fix my situation. Still freezing then crashing. Crashed 4 times just trying to write this note. Finally booted in safe mode and wrote note.
Installed/Uninstalled with CleanMyMac and it still seems to be in there as per the 2nd report. Still crashing.
Ok, let me do the math: I have 10 macs running in my house and I've been running macs since the original Mac plus came out - this ain't because the hard drive is full.
