Unfortunately you or someone that has access to your computer has made it into a mess. Mac OS was designed to be EXTREMELY secure from it's origin. It does not require antivirus, cleaning or ANY third party maintenance apps. It simply needs to be kept up-to-date. AV and cleaning apps on Mac OS create far more problems than they prevent.
Your computer has one of the worst offenders, CleanMyMac installed. This software is considered malware by most experienced users. Please locate the developers uninstall process and uninstall immediately.
You have also installed some adware, re-open your EtreCheck report and locate the area in the report to remove the adware.
After uninstalling both CMM and the adware, restart the computer in Safe Mode and then re-start normally. then create a new EtreCheck report and post it and we can re-evaluate.
Good luck.

Has been running fine on my iMac for several years, frankly I consider it worthless though. Perhaps you can post an EtreCheck report of your system and we can look for something obvious. Click the link, download and run the app and then copy and paste the entire report as your reply to this message.
You also have MacKeeper--worse than CleanMyMac by maybe an order of magnitude. The developers use methods approaching criminal behavior to sneak it on your computer. Please enjoy this list of articles about MacKeeper and its developers' unsavory history:

Yes you can attempt it again. However because the Photo's app is a much better app, I'd suggest using that rather than the Nikon app.
Ran DetectX to make sure Mackeeper was fully uninstalled . Uninstalled Rapport too .
Should I try to reinstall my Nikon software again now ? Many thanks Spence .
I bought a Nikon DSLR and it came with ViewNX 2 software on a disk in the box. This is a dumb question but my 2017 4K iMac doesn't have a disk drive.... like many computers these days.... so how do I install the software?
Thank you Allan, too early for me here on the left coast.
😁 Same time zone here in my part the 43rd state and only one cuppa coffee downed so far. I'm surprised I saw it!
Thought you guys were Mountain time.

Yes I think I'll just stick with Photos from Apple . Thank you .
Good plan and your welcome.
Thank you.
