“EMOBILED25HWSettingTool” will damage your computer

Receiving the message above repetitively, but can’t find the file named and it won’t allow me to move to trash. I have followed the prompts provided in another threat to reveal the files in my launch agents and launch daemons folders. Can anyone assist me?

It may also be beneficial to post the EtreCheck report. This is a free program developed by a fellow user here on these forums and is useful to see if there are any files that are starting on launch that should not be. When posting the report, use the "Additional Text" option so you will not exceed the text limit.

Sorry, but if I can get you to post those 3 locations again. I may have missed a file. Could you also check if you have any apps set to open on startup at  > System Settings > General > Login Items and let me know what is running in the background on the bottom of that page. I may have that settings location wrong if you are running MacOS10.15.
