First, start your Mac in "Safe Mode": How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support. Starting in Safe Mode takes longer than usual so let it finish.


While in that mode, drag all the files in those three folders to the Trash except those with the following in their names:


Adobe

Dropbox

Google

Microsoft

Oracle

Skype

Zoom


Then, restart your Mac normally and confirm the alert messages cease to appear.
