I get the notification of "p" will damage your computer. I delete it manually but it comes again when I close and re open my MacBook. What should I do?

phoney notifications I have a 2019 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68). I am getting false notifications using the system settings gearbox icon warning me of virus and other account problems. They pop-up then go away and I cannot seem to see where they originate from. No two seem the same message. This just started before the 13.2.1 update but is continuing after the update.

"Notify" is damaged and can't be opened. After downloading the macOS Ventura 13.0 earlier today, I started getting a notification that stated that ""Notify" is damaged and can't be opened." The notification started when my computer restarted after downloading macOS Ventura 13.0 and continued to appear after I restarted my computer. The only options I can click are "Show in Finder" or "OK." If I select the first, it opens Finder to Notify but then the same notification appears. If I click "OK" then the notification reappears in a few seconds. I know I could simply delete the application, but I am worried about losing some function on my Mac. Is there anyway to fix the damage, should I delete the file, or is there a different solution?

Try Malwarebytes.

Do not install any other antivirus software.

This could be a 'possible' malware. I suggest you install an antivirus software on your computer.
