Once this is done, you’ll be able to open most of the apps that aren’t on the app store. In most cases, the 'macos cannot verify that this app is free from malware' error occurs when interacting with apps from unknown developers, that are also not available in the app store. In macos catalina and macos mojave, when an app fails to install because it hasn’t been notarized or is from an unidentified developer, it will appear in system preferences > security & privacy, under the general tab.
You should move this app to the trash and check report malware to apple to protect other users.
