A little more searching about Mac Tonic brought up web pages about how to delete it as well as links to third-party software that would also do the trick. In addition, a search of malwarebytes.com included a forum post from a user who reported 'I had Advanced Mac Cleaner on my research VM. It showed update and downloaded Mac Auto Fixer.'
It’s been a truism on macOS for some time that the most reviled piece of software on the platform is MacKeeper, but brother-in-arms Advanced Mac Cleaner must be running it a close second.Advanced Mac Cleaner is produced by PCVark and has many incarnations. Aside from ‘AMC’, it’s also distributed as Mac Tonic, Mac Mechanic, Malware-Crusher, Mac Optimizer and now, the most recent form we’re seeing, Mac Auto Fixer.Like all the other forms of AMC, this app gets bundled in with fake Flash installers and writes itself all over your Mac to multiple places inside your user and local domain Library folders.
