help re: mal and troj found

My daughter's mac came back with 1 malware and 3 trojan alerts.  I am new as of a few hours. read what i could but lost.  it said it cannot be cleaned or deleted but can be cleared manually from the quarantine manager.  i did do whatever i could but from what i read it says that they are still there.  nothing was removed other than maybe a quarantine log...  can anyone help?  Does she have viruses or not?  how do you get rid of the stuff when apparently your software says cannot get rid of them...  what do i do - other than totally redoing her OS?  Thank you so much.

  • Boy this place is dead!   I uninstalled this software on my 2 macs but am leaving it on my daughter's until i can sort this out.  But I am frustrated at trying to figure out how to deal with these alerts that cannot be removed.  Maybe will remove it from hers to and just live with it.  I functioned all of these years clean...  But this place being dead doesn't help in attitude.  Thanks!

  • solution:  remove this software and live like I have before.  Re: daughter's computer - if needed - will redo OS.

    I am greatly disappointed in this software, confusion as to how to actually get the stuff fixed and or removed correctly, and this forum has a lot to be desired.  Thanks for wasting my day anyway.  I am out of here!  Thanks - but No Thanks!
