run first aid from recovery mode

I have Macbook Air 2017 running Mojave 10.14.4, so I check every month to find out there is a virus or malware on my Mac, usually I only use CleanMyMacX and Malwarebytes so one day before I check my Macbook my friend says try doing first aid and when I check using the help first aid disk utility appears like this

disk utility asks me to do first aid through recovery mode, I do it or not

Solution 1:

Better to run sooner than later. Disk Utility is written by Apple. Why are you worried. You should have a full backup of your system.

See this article. Pick diskutilty. Run disk first aid. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201314

I read were many people do not recommend running CleanMyMacX. Could be why you are experiencing problems with your machine. I recommend you stop running CleanMyMacX. Read manufacture's site on how to uninstall. See: https://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac-3/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-3

Simple put, Apple attempts to provide all the malware detection and removal you need in Mac OS X.
