""update" will damage your computer..." popup continually pops up

I move it to the trash. but it comes back. This started appearing only after I upgraded to Catalina.

Is there a simple step by step solution?

Is Apple aware and working on a security fix?

Thanks

I have this problem too, same circumstances. I am looking for a simple step by step solution that does not involve downloading some app from some unknown source. Malwarebytes does not find anything!

Only since upgrading to Catalina.
