hjvjte.exe in Trash - impossible to remove

[lucnijs]

Hi,
I wanted to empty the Trash folder on my Macbook, but it didn't work.
I found a solution on the net, namely; open etrminal and give the command "rm -rf ~/.Trash/*". This worked but one folder was not gone.
In the folder there is a file named "hjvjte.exe". A quick search on the internet revealed that this is a trojan horse...

Can somebody help on how to remove it anyway?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Luc

Since it's a Windows program, it can't harm your Mac in any way.

You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
