"nbp" will damage your computer Alert will not go away

My iMac Pro will not stop giving a pop up alert saying that: "nbp" will damage my computer. It happens in intervals of about 10 seconds. Here are some files that I read about that were mentioned here: About those "<app> will damage your… - Apple Community along with a screenshot of the pop up.

iMac Pro, macOS 14.2
