Since I installed macOS Catalina, I have been getting the following message whenever I log onto my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015): '“update” will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash." I have clicked "Move to Trash" many times but the message has kept on coming up. I have also tried clicking Cancel but the message keeps coming on. I find nothing in the Trash after clicking "Move to Trash.". How can I solve this problem?
