Windows 10: Unable to remove Trojan:script/Wacatac.H!ml

Been trying to remove this for almost a week now, here's what I did still didn't work - tried to remove it using Microsoft Defender, "remove" and "quarantine" does nothing. The file that was said to be "infected" does no longer exists the file is a .7z file that has been on my pc for more than a year now, it really caught me off guard considering all this time MD just noticed it was a "trojan" . I think it got already deleted when I got the first detection and I selected remove, this happened like 3-4 times, the 5th time was the one I got right now which still persists. They all referre

Virus Trojan:32/Wacatac.DC!ml not completely remediated on Windows PC

This is a "Backdoor" trojan. Read about it here: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.D!ml - Virus Lists and Removal Steps

These are the most dangerous, and most widespread, type of Trojan.

Backdoor Trojans provide the author or ‘master’ of the Trojan with remote ‘administration’ of victim machines. Unlike legitimate remote administration utilities, they install, launch and run invisibly, without the consent or knowledge of the user. Once installed, backdoor Trojans can be instructed to send, receive, execute and delete files, harvest confidential data from the computer, log activity on the computer and more.

If your computer was used for online banking or has credit card information on it, all passwords should be changed immediately to include those used for email, eBay and forums.
You should consider them to be compromised.
They should be changed by using a different computer and not the infected one, if not an attacker may get the new passwords and transaction information.

Banking and credit card institutions should be notified of the possible security breech.
