Cleanparameterd will damage your computer, this file was downloaded on an unknown date. Report Malware to apple to protect other users

hello, today when using the macbook pro there was a forced shutdown of the device itself after startup, the pop up window started to appear every 10 seconds: "cleanparameterd will damage your computer", I immediately went to open chrome to search what it was, but there was no internet access even with the device connected. I would like to know if someone has faced or is experiencing problems like this and if they have solution?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
