Has anyone else seen this pop up after installing Catalina?

Hello, I upgraded to Catalina yesterday on my 2018 MBP - once I did I started getting the below pop up every time my computer starts up. I ran malwarebytes and Norton, both found no malware. I went into preferences to make sure there was nothing in 'login items' which there isn't. When I click 'move to trash' the window goes away but there is nothing in the trash. I've searched my Mac for any file called "update" but can't seem to find it. This is brand new after Catalina. Upgraded an iMac and a 2017 MBP and haven't gotten this pop up. Is anyone else having this issue? Thank you!

No. I have not come across this, but you can most certainly do you part by reporting this as feedback to Apple, using the link*** provided below. The more feedback Apple received on this, the more they’ll know what bugs need to be fixed.

*** The Link: Feedback - macOS - Apple

Select:

“macOS Catalina 10.15” for the operating system you’re running

SOLVED - upgraded to 10.15.1 - when I booted up I received the same popup - except this time when I clicked 'moved to trash' a file actually showed up in the trash 'update.exe'. I emptied the trash, restarted - and no more pop up! Hope this works for others having the same issue....

I’m getting both pop ups but can find nothing that may be generating them. Another discussion suggested they stem from a Mac ‘cleaner’ application but I don’t have that either

Thanks DizzieKitty - I actually downloaded the latest version of Onyx for Catalina and ran a full clean - unfortunately it didn't help :/
