Software launching when logging in

I recently got a MacBook Pro and every time I log into my account random software will launch as soon as I’m on my account. It’s software I haven’t used, like the podcasts, calendar or messages software will launch and I have not messed with them. Could I possibly have malware?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Check to see what Login Items you have selected & configured. Open the User & Groups pane in the System Preferences and click on the Login Items tab:
