Also, if you are getting that message and the icon is blocked, you have a broken application.
Use the information in KB article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1017838 to fully uninstall Fusion. You can't just drag the Fusion application to the trash to get rid of all remnants of Fusion. Use the script here https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Fusion-Documents/Script-to-check-if-all-remnants-of-VMware-... to help you make sure you got all the remnants (the script automates finding the files in the KB article).
Then reboot your Mac to safe mode https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/start-up-your-mac-in-safe-mode-mh21245/mac . Once you've done that, restart your Mac and let it boot normally.
Is this a totally clean macOS installation or do you have any other third party software installed on it?
