"Earlier this year, a signature for Proton was silently added to
Apple's XProtect signatures, but nobody ever saw a copy."
"Impact: This is a general-purpose backdoor with all the usual
backdoor functionality."
So whatever XProtect is, if you had a copy of that .dmg now,
Proton should have been stopped.
xprotect is part of mac os and automatically updated.
there's no need to do anything.
