I found out an item from unidentified developer. It’s in my login items and extensions and it’s turned on and allowed in the background. And I don’t recognize that file. The name is launch_common.sh. Says item from unidentified developer. Just wanted to make sure that it is not a malicious file. I really appreciate your feedback and help. Have a wonderful day.

The file in question resides within the "Audinate" folder which is the name of the app or developer for the app you you installed at some point. So either the app is called "Audinate" or it is called "ConMon". "Audinate" sounds like some sort of audio based software, but I have no clue.
Keep in mind you will see a lot of scary things within the macOS Privacy & Security System Settings because of the way Apple shows various items there is severely broken with no way of associate which app some of those items belong. But they are all there because you (or someone you allowed to use your unlocked computer) installed & used those items.

By not installing junk (you did list some of the junk apps), and by installing only the third party apps you really need to use and by practicing safe computing habits as outlined in the following excellent article which I think everyone should read:
Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community
well, I only press install from Apple and known developers. Like universal audio, etc. May I ask you, what it takes for the Mac to be free of viruses or other malware? Because I see that none of those "Paid programs" Like MacPaw, Norton Security and others are just there to suck up your money, but they don’t do much.
I know that there is a reset thing, but there is really nothing else?
And thank you so much for your reply. Happy New Year’s and have a wonderful day.
@Maxim___g by chance do you have either Universal Audio's control UAD meter & control installed? I have the same files and thinking that it might be related
A weird file that is turned on and allowed in the background
