Malware
I'm getting a message that says:
"RunningUpdaterd" will damage your computer.
It wont go away, how do I fix this?

You are getting that message from Apple's built-in AV scanner, XProtect. If the message is repeatedly occurring then either you or some other component of the malware is continually redownloading and relaunching it, causing XProtect to block it and throw the dialog.
Look for a persistence agent in any one of:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
and check cron jobs both for yourself and root user with
crontab -l
sudo crontab -l; sudo -k
The malware is likely Adload, which can get quite deep into your system.
