Mystery Window Exposé...d

Hello,

Using mission control to show all open windows, a mystery window slides out from the side of the desktop. It says "Devices" in the upper left corner and also says "Select camera or Scanner" across the title bar at the top. I can't select it, nor close it, nor find out from where it came. I've quit all programs, Restarted, Relaunched Finder and looked at the Force Quit window for any stray programs that might still be open. Nada. Any clue as to what is going on?

Can't find application previously identified as malware The Mac OS's built in security alerted me to an application it identified as malware. I was able to view the application in Finder when I clicked the button. I have since restarted the computer so that window which I only minimized is no longer there. I cannot find the file when I search for it. Now I downloaded a new antivirus software which is not detecting anything. Is there a way to get the Mac to alert me again so I can use this "view" button on the alert to find this application again? Or is it possible the Mac's security has quarantined it somewhere?

What is the target-like circle on my screen??? Hi, I got this when I woke up my iMac today. Definitely scared me for a second - thought somebody sent me a ransomware warning or something like that. 😂 When I logged on and logged out again, it disappeared. Still unsettled me and want to know what this was. Any answers would be appreciated!

Window of unknown source Help! I have a small window that appears a short time after I start up that I can't get rid of any other way except by restarting. It's all gray with "Passwords..." at the top. When I hover, the top part (like the menu bar area) turns blue, but nothing else happens at all. The only time it allows anything else to cover it is when I take a streaming app like Hulu fullscreen. It even stays in place if I present in Keynote or PPT. I'm running a Mac Mini M1 2020 with MacOS Big Sur v11.4
