It's an app you have installed on your Mac and it is starting up automatically .
If you don't want to the app, remove it from your system.
If you want to keep the app, but don't want it to start up automatically:

it sounds like an app that is on your Mac . Maybe Spotlight can help you to locate it? (Click on the magnifying glass at the right side on your menubar.
I am wondering, but I really don't know: can it be an extensions in one of your browsers?
it can't harm to run free Malwarebytes for Mac (www.malwarebytes.com )to see if it's a PUP (potentially unwanted program)

Hi there, thanks for your brilliant advice. Downloaded malwarebytes and ran the scan. The extension popped up numerous times. I deleted. At moment all seems well. Many thanks for your advice
Thanks, it seemed to have worked but my question still is, what is "Data Quest". I do not recollect having downloaded it. It is is not in my Applications folder
This is what I found about Data Quest. Maybe the app is called Python? Have a look if you can find that in your application folder
Forgot to send the link https://www.learndatasci.com/articles/review-dataquests-data-science-python-program/
Hi there, thanks once again for replying. There is nothing like Python in my applications folder. Rather strange
The actual pop up says Do you want the Application Dataquest to accept incoming network connections - Deny or Allow
It has just happened again
Clicking Deny may limit the applications behaviour. This setting can be changed in the firewall pane of Security and Privacy preferences.
I would use Spotlight to detect where it is on your Mac
Glad to hear it worked
