How do I get rid of trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx)?

Safari says I have a trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx). A solution given at one point was to install and run Malware bytes Anti-Malware program, but my Mac desktop only runs OS10.6.8, and the mal-ware program does not support OS10.6.8. Any solutions?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Safari has no ability to detect malware. What you're looking at is web page scam. Clear Safari History and Website Data and/or restart Safari while you hold down the Shift key.
