Answer 1

From support.apple.com

Apple can't check app for malicious software

Using an app that can't be checked for malicious software might harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. If you're certain that the app you want to use is from a trustworthy source, you can override your Mac security settings to open it.

 In the Finder on your Mac, locate the app you want to open. Don't use Launchpad to locate the app. Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu. Click Open. The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it at any time by double-clicking it, just as you do with

any registered app.

Note: Run following command once you open your App to save your machine from malicious Software in future.
