Unable to delete application 'Lookup Tools' from laptop

An application calling itself "Lookup Tool" keeps popping up on my MacBook Pro screen. I can't find it to delete it? I do not think it has anything to do with Apple.

Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

"PROPERNETWORKSEARCH". What is it? "PROPERNETWORKSEARCH". What is it? How do I remove it from my iMac? I frequently get a popup window that has two response buttons: "DENY" or "ALLOW". I must deal with the window before I can do any other activity. As you can see, it popped up even as I am writing this query. What is it? And what can I do?

Delete ‘CrossLink Network Extensions’ I noticed on my MacBook launchpad that there’s an icon called ‘CrossLink Network Extensions’. I don’t know what this is for or how it got there. It is something I’ve seen on my WORK computer. How can I remove this? What is it for and where did it come from? When I click on it, nothing comes up, nothing opens... HELP!
