Unable to move malware to iMac's bin
When I try to move it to the bin it won't go in and when I click on OK or show in Finder it disappears for a few seconds then comes back again

+1 on WheelieNick's post. Get the free version of Malwarebytes. However, then again are you positive you have installed some malware? I would recommend doing the following first.

If you're sure that you have malware on your Mac you might want to install the free version of malwarebytes anti malware to see if you can get rid of it using that
If you see it again, post the free EtreCheck report using the link provided by rkaufmann87 titled "How to Use the Add Text Feature When Post..." and if you have any suspicious files launching on startup, they will be identified there.
What file are you trying to delete and where is it currently located?
thanks for your reply, I had a yellow triangle with a message telling me I had Malware and it would damage my Mac, there was a option to report to Apple or look at it in Finder. I closed everything down and turned my Mac off and unplugged it for 24 hours and when I turned it on again the message was gone, so not sure what it was, maybe some sort of scam probably.
