"Deleting malware" window keeps popping up on MacBook

Hi there; this message to delate a malware thing is popping up literally every 20 seconds or so, I click move to bin, but nothing goes into the bin, so I can't just empty that. Any tips on how to get rid of it for good? This only started within the last hour.. TIA.

Buongiorno a tutti. Anch'io da alcune settimane mi ritrovo a "combattere" contro una serie infinita di pop-up che, per praticità, ho raggruppato nella foto allegata (Desktop.jpg) presa dopo un inutilizzo di 4 ore (durante il normale uso questi avvisi compaiono ogni 3/4 circa minuti). Dopo aver letto il "consiglio" di Giovanni Galt (di cui al link di WeelieNick), ho controllato le tre directories ma, in base alle mie conoscenze, non ho visto nulla di "strano". Al che, ho fatto gli screenshots e sottopongo il tutto a voi con la speranza che qualcuno mi possa aiutare a risolvere. Considerate inoltre che non sono un espertissimo, quindi un linguaggio semplice sarà apprezzato ;-).

p.s.: da quando hanno iniziato ad apparire questi "avvisi", non mi compare più il reminder del backup (tipo: sono passati 15 giorni dal tuo ultimo backup...)

Ringrazio in anticipo chiunque potrà aiutarmi.
