Annoying Virus warning popup

Re: Annoying Virus warning popup "My problem has now been fixed! A user, Weijing211, here in the Apple community, gives the solution to a problem which I have had for many weeks. His post for Feb 8, 2023 @ 8:50am was very helpful. It involves going into System and deleting an icon."

What was the fix? could not find any explanation nor link? only small info about going to settings and deleting some icon?
