malware message that keeps popping up

I Installed Catalina. I keep getting message " 'EasyConverter-955179 2' will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash." I try to move it to the Trash but it keeps popping up -- maybe 10 times so far. I don't know what to do.

Unable to delete suggested 'Malware'! Hello, I just updated my Mac to the latest software version (Catalina) and received this pop-up message (see screen shot). When I click on the 'Move to bin' option, the message just disappears and reappears in a few seconds... and the malware does not get moved to the bin. I am worried about this malware infecting my computer and would highly appreciate your help. Thank you!

I get a pop up every few seconds saying I've got malware I just downloaded Catalina and now I get a pop up every few seconds saying I've got Malware. I click "move to trash" or "cancel" and it keeps coming back. It repeats about every two pop ups. First is "helpermcp" and the second is "maftask". They just keep coming... [Re-Titled by Moderator]
