Update your software and make sure you run full scan.
Be damn sure you check the "nexdefinstall.dmg" file and let your virus protection fix it.

nexdefinstall.dmg is not a standard issue file on Mac OS. You downloaded something at some point, dude.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
A quick google indicates that the file in question has something to do with watching major league baseball.
I would advise anyone never to install any .dmg without due diligence as to its provenance and verifying the checksum against a trusted source.

NexDef appears to be something specific to MLB.Com, meaning that pretty much no one needs to care. You should really elaborate on what you are trying to warn us about because I didn’t find anything on a virus relating to this plug-in.

Unchecked your “Automatically trust system files” and run your scan again.

Apple would never let viruses on their computer. It’s impossible.

It’s not an Apple-issued file. It does not appear on an unmodified Mac nor is it on the Apple System manifest. It does not appear on *any* of my six Macs, “automatically trust system files” checked or unchecked.
You downloaded something from somewhere.

I have no idea of when or where I got it.
All I know is my virus protection software pick it up as "infected" and fixed it .

Clearly - but it’s not an Apple file, you downloaded it from somewhere and gave it authorization to run.

Any .dmg file is a DISK IMAGE, it cannot run unless you decompress the disk image and mount it to the Finder, and then open and execute the files that are in the disk. It is not an executable program or application file that can do anything at all.
Anything in it that is “Infected” is not going to affect your computer as it is just a stored file until it is unpacked, mounted as a disk, then the apps installed, and then executed. That cannot happen until YOU as the user, do it. It certainly cannot affect the speed of your computer.
If there was an infected file found by your anti-virus in that “nexdefinstall.dmg” file, it is the equivalent of finding a virus in an email package that has yet to be opened: it’s advisory only. . . and don’t mount that disk image.

CleanMyMac by MacKeeper? Under no circumstances use anything by MacKeeper. They are malware in and of themselves. 37 Attorneys General sued them and forced them to refund the purchase price to buyers for fraud three years ago. Steer a wide swath away from MacKeeper.
Just Say "NO!" to MacKeeper!

Thanks for the info.
Can In delete it after it's been 'fixed' without setting up a virus problem, or a program that will fail to operate ?
