Hi there, Goldstarky,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. I understand from your post that you're receiving a notification about a particular file, and need help removing it as it appears to be malware. I'm happy to help!
The pop-up that you're seeing normally indicates that macOS has detected an app that has malicious content as outlined here: Safely open apps on your Mac - Apple Support
In addition to moving it to the Trash like you're doing, I also suggest searching for and uninstalling any related content that may be on your Mac: How to delete apps on your Mac - Apple Support
If you still need help removing the file, try the free third-party software Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes | Malwarebytes for Mac — Mac Antivirus Replacement | Malwarebytes.
Best!
