How to remove Mac Cleanup Pro from Mac?

What is Mac Cleanup Pro?

Mac Cleanup Pro is a dubious application presented as a high quality system optimization/cleaning tool. This is a new variant of another questionable app called Advanced Mac Cleaner. Its appearance suggests that Mac Cleanup Pro is legitimate and useful, however, it often infiltrates systems without permission, since developers promote it using a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling'. It is also proliferated using fake error messages delivered by malicious websites. For these reasons, Mac Cleanup Pro is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).

After scanning the system, Mac Cleanup Pro delivers a list of files that should be deleted to improve system performance, however, the 'free version' of is supposedly only able to detect files, not remove them. To remove detected files, users must purchase the 'full version'. Note, however, that system cleaners distributed using the 'bundling' method are often fake. They deliver false scan results just to trick users into purchasing so-called full versions (to resolve issues that do not exist). Mac Cleanup Pro might also be one of these rogue apps. Therefore, we recommend that you consider uninstalling this application. Be aware that 'bundling' is often used to proliferate several unwanted applications at once. Therefore, Mac Cleanup Pro may not be the only PUA that has infiltrated your computer. In most cases, 'bundling' is used to distribute adware and browser hijackers. These apps deliver intrusive advertisements, cause unwanted redirects, and gather sensitive information. In most cases, users visit fake error-displaying websites inadvertently - they are redirected to them by unwanted applications. Therefore, as well as uninstalling Mac Cleanup Pro, you should remove other dubious applications (especially if you experience the aforementioned ads and redirects).

Mac Cleanup Pro is identical to a number of other dubious system optimizers, such as MacOptimizer, Mac Mechanic, etc. In fact, all potentially unwanted applications are very similar. By offering 'useful features', apps such as Mac Cleanup Pro attempt to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install. Few provide features promised. These programs have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than giving any real value for regular users, they cause unwanted redirects, gather information, and deliver ads, thereby diminishing the browsing experience and posing a direct threat to your privacy and web browsing safety.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

As mentioned above, Mac Cleanup Pro is distributed using the 'bundling' method and fake error messages. 'Bundling' is essentially stealth installation of third party applications with regular software/apps. Developers are not honest enough to adequately disclose installation of unwanted apps and hide them within 'Custom/Advanced' settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes. Fake errors falsely claim that the system is infected to trick users into downloading tools that will 'fix' non-existent errors. The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge and careless behavior.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution. Therefore, pay attention when browsing the internet and downloading/installing software. Never believe any website that delivers messages claiming that your computer is infected, or similar. No browser or website is capable of detecting malware and these claims are false. Furthermore, carefully analyze download/installation steps and opt-out of additionally-included programs. Avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since most 'bundle' rogue apps. Programs should be downloaded from official sources only, using direct download links. PUAs are often distributed using intrusive advertisements that redirect to malicious websites or execute scripts that download and install software (or even high-risk malware). Most are delivered by adware-type apps. If you encounter dubious redirects (to pornography, gambling, survey, and other suspicious sites), remove all dubious applications and browser plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
