Per a search, cpconfig is a component of Check Point security. Such software has no need or purpose on a Mac. Remove it per the vendor's instructions.
Thanks to a long standing contributor @John Galt to remove this Malware.
Optional >> restart the computer in Safe Mode

About those "<app> will damage your computer" messages
PS I do not really understand the Script in your image but looks like this application will damage the computer
Just to add >>
There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that cannot be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications like Check Point as mentioned by fellow contributor @Kurt Lang 👍
The Only thing this Antivirus Software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.
AntiVirus Developers purposefully Market their product to create a “ Fear Factor “. In so doing, creating a False Need for their Product.
The Built in Security is all that is required to protect the computer.
