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?
