The crash problem of Safari in macOS Big Sur

In macOS Big Sur, this application (DataBoost) will appear in the dock bar when Safari crashes. But I haven’t installed this app, and it appears in my application folder somehow. When I delete the app each time, it will reappear in the dock bar and application folder the next time Safari crashes. I don’t know how to do with it. How to solve this problem??

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.5
