Can I delete dybala.antivirus.thor.free

I put this in the trash and found it has multiple files in it. It even recreated my own files that are still on my computer. I took a picture so you can see.

I know it's very small but it contains Desktop, Downloads, shortcut to Movies and Music, Documents, ichat shortcut, Temp file, ThorMainDBView, ThorSecondaryDB and Library with Container.plist on it. I have my library and all of these files. Is this alright to delete from the trash or should I put it back. When I tried putting it back it all went to my Finder folder which I don't want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. HELP!!!! 😕 I have upgraded to ElCapitan but my computer was made late 2009.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), using WiFi Connection

Make sure you have current and complete external backups. At least one, and preferably two complete external backups. Also build yourself a bootable installer; see below.

Then try deleting it.

The vendor’s (apparent?) web site doesn’t list a removal sequence nor provide any support information beyond an email submission address, and which is not an auspicious start to this removal process.

Unfortunately, both anti-malware and malware can dig themselves pretty deeply into a system.

MalwareBytes might remove this. If not, create a bootable installer, wipe your disk and reinstall macOS, and migrate your data and not your apps. Then restore your apps from distro, or drag over the apps from the backup other than this one.
