Hey there,
Have you tried force quitting the application? Another thing to do is open up the Activity Monitor and find the correct process for Macjanitor and select it and choose "Quit Process" and then see if that helps. Have you tried restarting the computer as well?

Log out/in or restart and then try trashing it.

MacJanitor is just a stand alone application so it isn't "installed" per se. You just chuck it into the trash if you don't want it.
So restart the computer and see if you can trash it after a restart.
