Malware notice keeps repeating

after installing Sonoma I keep getting a malware notice for "FreeDataSearchDaemon" which I deleted. But the notice reappears each time I delete it. The notice offers to show it in the Finder but doesn't, It just keeps the same notification and reappear

System Settings > Login Items > disable/delete all the background apps there and restart your Mac. Check, if that stops this daemon.

This had come through a web browser.
