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 the following files to the Trash:



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


Next: Regarding the "Anydesk" product. The following Discussion may be of interest to you: AnyDesk installed by scammer - Apple Community. If you contacted any number of unscrupulous entities in an attempt to rid that Mac of the problematic "will damage your computer" message (or any other problem) you may have invited additional troubles. If you are 100% certain that you installed the "Anydesk" product intentionally and are just as certain that you need it, then please disregard this comment as irrelevant and unrelated to the problem at hand.


Next: Regarding the "Sentinel One" product. You can see for yourself it did nothing to address the problematic "will damage your computer" message. It's your decision whether to keep it installed or not, but no product can provide absolute protection from becoming deceived into willfully installing junk. Recognition and avoidance is the only effective defense. For more information regarding that subject, please read Effective defenses against malware and other threats - Apple Community.
