Suggest you install Malwarebytes and run a scan. You can scan for free.

There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
The Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that cannot be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.
The Built in Security is all that is required to protect the computer.
Protecting against malware in macOS
There is Adware & Malware which will affect the computer and is generally downloaded from “ Shady “ Websites or Developers who Inject this software into the download.
From a well written User Tip from @Kurt Lang

Did you run Malwarebytes?
Did it find anything?

What one has now done is to have Pre-Determined that the is Malware installed on this computer
The evidence presented, this far, it a Scam attempting to influence the User ( you ) to Download potential Malware
To affect such actions who Require the User ( you ) to download the malware
Then for the User ( you ) to Give the Malware Permission to Install
That would Require the User ( you ) to give Expressed Consent by Inputing the Computer Password
If that has been done, then that is not on Apple per se but rather, elsewhere, full stop

Thanks but I thought it was Safari, cleared Cache, web pages etc. but it's not. Comes when no programs are running. I reinstalled the OS but didn't help either.
