Out of the blue with no changes I am aware of get message "Background Items Added "userinit.sh" is an item that can run in the background..." Disabled it in Login Items since it stated "Item from unidentified developer". Also noticed that init.sh also was from an unidentified developer. Is it safe to turn off init.sh also?

According to my Google search it's something associated with MS Office.
However, Avast should be uninstalled according to the developer's instructions. You can check to see if you've removed all of the supporting files by downloading and running the shareware app Find Any File to search for any files with the application's or the developer's name in the file name. For Avast software you'd do the following search(es):
1 - Name contains avast
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop or Trash bin in the Dock for deletion.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
You can try turning it off in preferences and see how your MS Office apps respond.
Where and how often do you get the userinit.sh notification?

Do you have AVG installed? I have the same on my mac and it's part of AVG.
No linger get userinit.sh notification. Turned it off in Preferences.
A very old version of Office. Upon further investigation I see the name of Avast in the code dated Jan. 5 2023. Can I just switch it off in preferences?
Userinit.sh is switched off, I am questioning whether init.sh can be switched off with no harm.
Out of the blue with no changes I am aware of get message "Background Items Added "userinit.sh" is an item that can run in the background..." Is it safe to go on ?
Do you have MS Office installed and running or at some time in the past? See the posts above.
Have you tried a Google search for "What is userinit.shpart of"?
Do you have MS Office installed or Windows?
Thanks
userinit.sh Background Items Added
