Comp virus help

So I got this thingie on my computer "Setupplaypickle.exe" and after looking it up on google I found out it's a virus. It's kinda just sitting in my recycle bin, so can I just delete it? I used this virus scanner online that would supposedly delete it (Prevx 3.0), but it didn't do anything.

Also, if it's in your Recycle bin, and not anywhere else, maybe that's what Prevx did with it when it found it.
As long as it's there, it can't hurt your computer.

RIGHT-Click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and select "Empty the Recycle Bin" from the pop-up menu and it will erase it from your computer completely.

But yes- I second the recommendations that you get "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" and use (and Update it) regularly to keep your computer protected.
It's free and easy to use.. just Google the name to find the download link.
