Some legitimate software is ad-supported and may display ads in its own windows or in a web browser while it's running. Deactivating it is a separate, and even easier, procedure. This easy procedure will detect any kind of adware that I know of. If you still have problems with web browsers after removing it, ask for instructions. "Advanced Mac Cleaner" may have been bundled with other malware that was installed at the same time.

Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. Some of the files listed may be absent in your case. To remove it, please take the steps below. You installed a fake "utility" called "Advanced Mac Cleaner" and/or "AdwareCleaner." Like any software that purports to automatically "clean up" or "speed up" a Mac, it's a scam.
