"leadingProtocolfld" will damage your computer pop up help

I keep getting a pop up saying ""leadingProtocolfld" will damage your computer" but no matter how many times I press "OK" or "show in finder" it wont go away. I tried to follow a step by step to fix it and it said to take these screenshots and post here so someone with more knowledge on this could tell me what to delete

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

How do I stop 'Malware Blocked' pop-up (PT.updd) from repeatedly appearing on Mac? UPDATE: i went to the activity monitor, alphabetised all files and found ander PT.updd file. managed to delete it. Seems to have done the trick! I was here: /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/PT.updd Hi! Since this morning the same pop up (see photo) keeps popping up. Malware blocked. PT.updd was not opened because it contains malware. Very annoying. After reading up in the community I looked at ~/Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents And deleted a PT.updd file, as well as some other weird files. I thought that would do it. But no. I also emptied the trash and restarted my computer. I don’t have popcorn time installed. Now I am at a loss for what to do next. I will be so grateful for some help, I have to give an important presentation later today and this is making me quite nervous and distracted. Thanks! Barbara [Re-Titled by Moderator]

“ElementaryTypefld” will damage your computer popup keeps showing up and I cannot remove it from my Mac. What should I remove? A pop up titled "“ElementaryTypefld” will damage your computer. This file was downloaded on an unknown date." continuously pops on on my Mac's screen and I cannot remove it no matter how many times I click okay or show in finder. Below is an image of the popup, my Launch Agents Screen, Launch Daemons Screen and my second Launch Agents Screen. Does anything look like it needs to be deleted? I am on Mac OS Big Sur Version 11.7.6
