Sounds like Malware.
EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...
Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.
There is also Malwarebytes...
Called Apple Support. They confirmed this is not an Apple device. They assisted with removal. They suggested downloading a product called Malwarebytes.com. Free trial for 14 days. Used scan and found twenty 'concerns' and deleted them.
Thank you for responding.
That's not macOS. I don't see much around the 'net listed with that name. Only a handful of references to "Global Quest" or "Allied Global Quest", and which may or may not be related to whatever you're encountering here. Which either means it's very new, or really obscure, or maybe part of some added app. Can you confirm the spelling?
