If you got that on your Mac, just move it to the trash and empty it. Macs don't get viruses.

Hoping for a little more information like how I got it? Only downloaded SMCfancontrol, google chrome, and snake.

It has a .exe extension, which can only be opened by Windows. So you're fine.

Yup.

It might be worthwhile to consider how it ended up on your machine, though. If from a web site, for example, then that's a site you should avoid in the future.

It didn't come with any Mac apps, since it's a Windows app and can't run on or infect your Mac. No viruses exist in the wild that can run on Mac OS X, and there never have been any, since it was released 10 years ago. The handful of trojans that exist can be easily avoided with some basic education, common sense and care in what software you install:
