irritating pop up window

i keep on receiving an irritating pop up every few seconds

that says uimmora.app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware

this file was downloaded on an unknown date.


and this pop up window gives me 2 options 1- move to trash 2- cancel

when i press move to trash


another pop up says uimmora.app could not be moved to trash. please move this item to trash manually.


i searched manually for this app but i could'nt find it in my device

please help

There is a clear improvement!


However, we'd still like to get rid of this popup completely.


Does it appear before or after you login?


I am suspicious about this torrent stuff - any reason to have this Folx application among your login items?


Also, a few things to note from the report - though seeemingly unrelated to the present problkem


• your battery should probably be replaced soon; preferably before your 2013 mac reachs "obsolete" status (which should be any day now) and replacement parts from Apple dry up.


• you should also try to clear some disk space. Your drive has less than 10% available.


• if you need the Wacom drivers, make sure they are up to date.

Hello, I would first like to thank you for your help


the problem is almost solved


However, the pop up appeared only once. It showed up directly after restarting my device, and it did not appear again. (keeping in mind i restarted my laptop in safe mode)..


I tried restarting it again with switching off the safe mode, the same thing happened ( the pop up appeared when restarted only).


I'm not sure what the problem is but i am satisfied after all.

Kindly take a look into the updated report after removing the adware.
