WSDaemon!

"WSDaemon" is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? (Safari downloaded this file one July 14, 2018) How do I get rid of this? What is WSDaemon? Oh no - It keeps popping up even if I hit cancel.

“BackService” is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? I keep getting this pop up window that mentions "“BackService” is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?" and in small fonts it lists "Google Chrome downloaded this file on May 27, 2018." in the same window with Cancel and Open buttons. When i click Cancel it keeps on appearing again. How do i resolve this without clicking Open button. I don't have any application name "BackService" installed so im worried this could be malicious application. I have attached the picture.

Uninstall "Webroot" according to its instructions. Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk.
