warning message

I have gotten a warning "InitialProgramfld" will damage your computer, previously I would click show in finder then put file in trash and empty, now I have gotten it again but it will not do anything when I click 'show in finder' and when I click ok it just pops back up. Any suggestions?

iMac 27″, 12.1

First, start your Mac in "Safe Mode": How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support. Starting in Safe Mode takes longer than usual so let it finish.


While in that mode, drag all the files in those three folders to the Trash except those with the following in their names:


Google

Zoom


Those are ok. Leave them in place. When you are finished those are the only files that should remain in those folders.


Then, restart your Mac normally and confirm the alert messages cease to appear.
