There is a company called IObit that makes software called Smart Defrag and Advanced System Care and they are not malicious
It is normal for them to make some ads pop up for revenue since these programs are free

There are programs that come bundled with some other software and this is normal
I don't think there is an issue here but still just to be on the safer side, run a deep scan with a second opinion scanner like Zemana antimalware free or Hitman Pro
