antivirus for mac threat warning JS:Trojan.Cryxos.4256.
I have multiple warnings for this on my mac. I tried deleting the file, but it could not be deleted because it is in a backup folder (Page.webarchive)
What do I do?

If the page.webarchive is on a Time Machine backup, then leave it alone, and ensure that it is not on your startup drive.
You can entirely remove any anti-virus product that is reporting this.
No Windows-sourced trojans can run on macOS, and no trojans exist on a website from which that .webarchive was generated. You should be able to just drag and drop that .webarchive into your Trash and empty the Trash.
Thanks for the reply. However, when I try to drag and drop the file "page.webarchive" to the trash, I get this message: The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified.
I am not tech savvy, obviously. I don't know why or how this item was backed up, or how to now delete it. Any ideas?
