Help Identify Malware Files from ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Per referenced entry linked below, I need help identifying which items are malware. About those " will damage your computer" … - Apple Community
Note that the reason I believe i have malware is because, safari will automatically open one to many pages/tabs. I finally discovered that if I go to system settings > security & privacy > privacy > automation and deselect the apps in there, then it will temporarily stop this activity. However, they get selected again somehow. Here is where I go to deselect them. For the sake of others finding this entry, those apps are wappo.app, innless.app, npb.
I have looked for the files in the applications folder with the intention of deleting them with no luck. So, I have finally found the document below to instruct me on how to get rid of this stuff. Thank you JG for sharing your knowledge freely.

Also, I have purchased a new mbp, but have delayed transferring data to it because of this issue. I do not want to infect my newer mbp with these issues. If you have any advice to help me keep that from happening would be appreciated too.
Within ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder, I found files named the same as 3 of the .app files listed in the automation tab in the screen shot above. I moved those to the trash folder. I have not restarted my mbp yet. I will do a more recent backup before I restart.
Here are the screen shots of the 3 folders mentioned in the linked article above.
First, ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder. Note that I do not recognize anything in this list except the files referencing: adobe, cleanmymac, gotomeeting. Note that I have not used CMM in several years.
Second, /Library/LaunchAgents. Note that I no longer use the epson printer. I have used zoom lately. Not sure why adobe is in there from today.
The 3rd folder, /Library/LaunchDaemons.
Thank you for your help.
