MacGameStore17-12-57-980 will damage your computer

After software update I received a pop up "MacGameStore17-12-57-980" will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash. This file was downloaded on an unknown date. Report malware to Apple to protect others. Move to Trash Cancel Question: I am not able to move to Trash. When I select Move to Trash nothing happens. How do I report this?

Hi Kathy,


The free Malwarebytes which may take care of it...

Or...

EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts..
