Any idea what this is?

I click "move to trash" and the popup goes away but comes back 3-4 times a day now. I search for it and can't find anything.

I suspect you have installed adware/malware:


>System Preferences>Profiles click into it and then remove all the suspicious things from the list. (This Preference pane will not be present if no profiles found.)

or

Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/


also Verify you are not using SOCKS proxy:

>System Preferences>Networks>Advanced>Proxy uncheck the box


Adware/malware launch daemons can set SOCKS proxies without user participation.

(SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server.)
