How to remove this malware?!

Hello,

So I recently and accidentally downloaded a malware. I am stupid I get it. I have removed most of the corruption but there is one file in my library that is apparently a threat. I have never seen a file like this before and AVG has picked it out as a problem however it cant remove it for some reason. Is it safe to remove it myself by sending to the trash and then emptying the trash ? There is also another one in the lebosa file but AVG managed to block it

I have attached screen shots so you can see the file I am talking about.

Please help I am very scared of my mac being ruined by this.

Well that is unfortunate due to the lack of a hard-drive at this moment. That is really quite annoying.

I have since removed the adware stated in this report.

I would personally advise to use malwarebytes, it is a small program that scans the entire mac and then gives you the option to delete everything

Thank you to everyone! I now have no adware or malware on my mac! I will consider getting a new battery but 200 dollars for one is a bit much for me at the moment.
