Pop up asking for access

I am getting a repeating pop that says: "6559942347671004665 want access to control Safari. Allowing control will provide access to documents and date in Safari and to perform actions within that app." I can keep saying don't allow, but it keep popping back up. What can I do?

I've been having the same issue but a different number than your's. I used Finder to find it on my hard drive and then delete the file. I also installed Malwarebytes for Mac software to keep check in issues. Here's the link to download the software: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac-download/


I don't know here it came from, but likely it's an .exe file attempting to gather data from my computer.


I hope this helps.
