The pop up kept showing up and tried so many times to delete but failed. Please show me procedures to delete that annoying message.
p.s. I thought I have deleted the suspected file from finder already.

It stands to reason if you are not using Pulse Secure or if it is no longer working, you should uninstall it for no other reason its presence will only complicate matters. Same goes for Airwatch (which may have been installed in conjunction with it) Citrix, Kinoni Epocam or anything else you are not certain about. When uninstalling things always research the developer's legitimately obtained uninstallation instructions, or contact the developer on your own. Never resort to using some generic "app zapper" and never Google for a solution. That's how people dig themselves into a bigger hole.
I am reasonably certain the one Apple file in the second screenshot is no longer needed either. Its presence does not cause any trouble, but in my opinion if something is not needed, you might as well get rid of it.
The point is that everything in those folders will be there only if you want it to be there and are certain you need those files for the software you require. Nothing gets installed in them without your consent, and no legitimate product will hide behind some obscure name. If you want to continue troubleshooting along those lines, repeat the above instructions — start in Safe Mode (which renders those non-Apple system modifications inactive so that you can delete the files), drag anything suspicious out of those folders and into the Trash, or even your Desktop, restart normally, and evaluate.
If you still encounter that unwanted dialog the next step would be to download and run EtreCheck. For instructions, How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report - Apple Community.
Thank you for getting back with me. I have a Mac OS Monterey version 12.7.2
I attempted the "safe mode" with my computer and it said that "Safe Boot” would show up in the upper-right corner of the window. " It didn't but the pop up did disappear. NOW a new one has popped up
'"nuTsieUploader" will damage your computer. You should move it to trash". I cannot find it on my computer anywhere! Any suggestions? I really appreciate your help. I am not tech savvy at all.

I cleared my Launch Agents and Launch Deamons, and the pop up is still showing. I can't find this file on my computer anywhere. Any ideas? This pop up is driving me nuts. (I am on the latest version, have cleared my trashcan and restarted several times).
Thank you for your help. I'm having the same problem after updating to Sonoma 14.4. In fact I seem to be having multiple problems. Chrome doesn't work. I can't access the App Store. Nothing. I'm hoping deleting the correct files will help.
Thank you for your help!
Help me get rid of the maddening window “UniversalHandlerfld” will damage your computer.
Thank you so much John. That took care of it. I apologize for the incomplete names in my captures. I should have thought of that when I took the screenshots.
Great! Glad it worked. Thanks for the update.
Very helpful, John. I will work on getting rid of those unnecessaries. Thanks again!
I completed the steps as outlined, and the pop up is still popping up literally every 3 seconds. Screen shots attached. I haven't been able to find this file anywhere!
I was in Safe Mode, here are all screen shots with the list view, I emptied the trash can, and restarted. When the restart came up, the pop-up was immediately there.
Hi, I've got the same problem. I keep getting a pop-up window with the message: "<app> will damage your computer." Here are my 3 screenshots:
Can someone please help me with it?
