'Vpnagentd' will damage your computer Removal Report - https://www.enigmasoftware.com/vpnage...

"Vpnagentd will damage your computer" is a pop-up that Mac users have been seeing as a result of having a potentially unwanted program (or PUP) installed on their computers. The software associated with this pop-up targets the user's browser by disabling the default Mac browser's configurations and installing components designed to boost specific sponsored advertising content.

For this reason, "Vpnagentd will damage your computer" isn't considered as dangerous as ransomware or other high-level malware. Still, its presence on the affected computer may cause it to behave in a manner that users may find annoying. There is also a possibility that some of the content users are shown or directed to may pose a security threat. As previously mentioned, the PUP's main function is to boost traffic to third-party websites. So, users may experience unwanted advertisements in the form of banner ads or pop-up windows, or they may go through a flurry of redirects to sites that they've never intended to visit.
