I found another forum post that said to Post a question here regarding this annoying warning message that won't go away, and to include the following screen shots,
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchAgents
Thank you for any suggestions on how to rid my computer of this warning.
Here are screenshots of the warning and the suggested screenshots:
There is one more folder that you need to examine. It is missing from the screenshots you posted.
Please review About those "<app> will damage your computer" messages - Apple Community and provide the missing screenshot.

No. Someone else replied to your question with a "me too" question which always leads to confusion. Normally I avoid responding to "me too" replies because it tends to exacerbate that confusion and encourage more of the same. In the interest of addressing exigent circumstances I have temporarily suspended that practice.
Back to your question: If no files remain in those folders other than those Mr. etresoft told you should remain, please download his program EtreCheck from https://etrecheck.com/ and post its report in a reply. Detailed and illustrated instructions are here: How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report - Apple Community.
Post that report according to those instructions and perhaps he or I will be able to provide more assistance.
Configuration profiles found - This computer may have configuration profiles installed.
Configuration profiles are generally found on Macs owned or controlled by organizations such as an employer or school. Assuming that Mac is exclusively yours to own and control none should be installed. Investigate System Preferences for the presence of one, and if you find it, delete it.

Delete all of them except for the 3 google files and the 1 zoom file.

Thanks very much for your help. I deleted those files recommended and restarted my macbookpro .. but still get the message that "InitialProgramfld" will damage my computer. Anything else you can think of?
The three screenshots are of the three folders indicated in your repair post. there was nothing in the /Library/LaunchAgents folder, so it appears empty in the screenshot.
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchAgents
~/Library/LaunchAgents
Is there a 4th folder to include? I deleted all files except 3 google files and 1 zoom file, and restarted, but problem still exists.
