I opened Disk Utility and can see that the audio/video program VLC is in there (see attached). Why? It looks like OSX sees it as a disk drive with total capacity of 139MB. How did it get there, and is it okay that its there? I never use disk utility. Any advice? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

VLC appears in Disk Utility

It looks like you installed VLC player... or downloaded it with the intention of installing it. The .dmg file is the disk image that the app is installed from. After installation, you should eject and delete the .dmg file.
That's the disk image that VLC is located in. Go to the desktop and drag the disk titled VLC to the Trash to unmount it.
Looking at the path at the bottom of the window, it seems that the image wasn't unmounted correctly after updating VLC. You should be able to click it in Disk Utility and choose Unmount from the toolbar.
