userinit.sh

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 a malware?

A weird file that is turned on and allowed in the background I found out an item from unidentified developer. It’s in my login items and extensions and it’s turned on and allowed in the background. And I don’t recognize that file. The name is launch_common.sh. Says item from unidentified developer. Just wanted to make sure that it is not a malicious file. I really appreciate your feedback and help. Have a wonderful day.
