Update your software.


In regards to the popup window—this is a generic warning only— You have to do nothing, 32-bit apps continue to work on High Sierra and Mojave.


In the future release of macOS 10.15 Catalina, applications will have to be 64-bit. App developers will issue updated apps if they want their apps to work on these future releases.
