It is difficult to block this element in uBlock by standard picker as the div element changes its ID on every page load and the ID consists of random characters such as “572onu654ny6”.

Solution?

Go to uBlock dashboard (rightmost icon) -> My filters and enter this custom filter (change example.com for the domain you see this warning on):

example.com##div:has-text(blocking software)
