Pop up message: "..." will damage your computer

I need help with this. I followed John Galt's instructions for an inexperienced user and have screen shots of the pop up message and the 3 folders he recommended I post. Now I'm looking for guidance on what to do. TY (I previously worked with an Apple Support person to get rid of a similar popup involving CrossSign, which I notice is still in a LaunchAgent folder.) I appreciate any guidance.

No problem. Start up in Safe Mode first.

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


In the first 2 screen shots, delete everything that does not contain:

  • google
  • microsoft
  • zoom
  • dropbox
  • logmein


The last screenshot is fine. Restart your computer again normally and the problem should be solved.
