Malware file offering cybersecurity plan on iMAC

I have a Malware file that keeps popping up on my iMAC offering a cybersecurity plan. I don't think I should have this on my iMAC and I'd like to get rid of it. I did find the Malware file, but haven't been able to delete it

The following may be relevant:



Since you identified the suspicious file, try deleting it while using your Mac in Safe Mode: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support. While in that mode, drag the suspicious files to the Trash. Then, restart normally (not "Safe Mode") and confirm its absence.


If you still need help describe what keeps "popping up" and how it makes its appearance. Screenshots can help. To learn how to capture, edit (if necessary) and post a screenshot to this site refer to the Appendix in Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question - Apple Community. Refer to Screenshots (Mac).
