I followed the advice for an earlier query on this which was to Restart into Recovery and do First Aid. That came up systems all ok.
On restart I got the AMDH screen up immediately. It doesn't come up on Safe Mode.
What app and what directory can this be removed from.

Well you hard drive is failing and you have made a mess of your system by installing Bitdefender and SecureMac!!
The best antivirus, cleaning app, and overall maintenance app for Mac OS is Mac OS itself. All you need to do with Mac OS to keep it secure and running well is to keep it up-to-date and do periodic (about 1x per week) restarts. Other than that, leave it alone. Adding third party antivirus, cleaning, security and other types of maintenance apps to Mac OS adds no additional level of security. The only thing these apps do is have the opposite affect users want. They make Mac OS slow, unstable, generate odd behavior (much like you are experiencing) and make Mac OS appear buggy.
Please locate the developers uninstall instructions for Bitdefender and SecureMac and follow to the letter. Then restart in Safe Mode per the directions in Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac and then restart normally.
Finally, your computer has not been backed up in 10 days. Please fix that issue.

Since sending my original query, I have downloaded EtrePro and generated a report. However since then I have had two restarts and a reoccurrence of the AMDH screen. So I have copied them and will attach them They are numbered in sequence #1–4 so you can follow The EtreCheck report is #2
