“ConnectionCacheFLD will damage your computer” error message

Hello!

I am getting an error message on my Mac (currently running Monterey) upon startup that says “ConnectionCacheFLD will damage your computer”. Nothing happens when I click “Show in Finder”. I looked up a guide online to remove the malware, but the guide didn’t mention putting the computer in safe boot first. I removed all the files from the 3 folders (Launch Daemons and both Angels are now completely empty), removed the application from the startup boot, removed the extensions from the browsers, and deleted all suspicious files and applications. However, as none of this was in safe mode, the error message is still popping up. I have searched the computer to the best of my ability but was wondering what my next steps should be now that I know to put it in safe boot.


Thank you!

iMac (2017 – 2020)
