Finder App

What is the purpose of the Finder App? Every time I start my computer I receive a notification asking if I want to allow or deny the use of the Finder App.

I spoke with Apple Support regarding the above notification and was informed that I should “allow” the Finder.App to receive income connections; however, it was unusual to receive that notification each time I start the computer. The representative believed it to be a "querk" in my computer. The Apple Tech representative had me test the computer holding down the “shift” key on startup and also restarting while holding down the “option” key on startup. With regard to holding down the “option” key, he had me check on “10-10” and then verify the hard disk and also to repair the disk and disk permissions. (“10-10” is the Yosemite sofeware.) All the tests showed that my computer was operating as it should. After his tests my computer no longer has the "notification" pop up on startup. The problem has been corrected.
