ApplicationWork

ApplicationWork tried to be installed on my Mac this morning. I shut down my computer, and restarted it. I think this may be malware. I tried to drag this to the trash, but couldn't because it was open. I tried to close it. No success. How do I remove this from my computer? Is it legit?

MacBook, macOS 10.14
