Have you updated your defs? Sounds more like it is finding a file that has some spyware that may resemble a trojan. Best way to find it is write down the so called virus name then get in to your task manager and see what programs are running as a process. Match up the file name to the process then click on it and end the process. Then you should have no problem deleting it.

If the virus scanner is finding the virus, it sure as heck should be able to remove it.
Look into your options and make sure you have them set to remove, delete, or whatever. Make sure that you update your defs too.
