Annoying Malware Blocked pop-ups after merging old Macbook Pro onto new Macbook Air

Found a discussion board that instructed me to take screenshots of 3 different finder windows with files that may be causing the problem - so here they are - allegedly someone will be able to look at these and tell me which file(s) are responsible for the incessant "Malware Blocked" pop ups? please and thank you for your help!
