Trojan, aaaahhh! | Imamother

I keep getting alerts from my antivirus that a trojan file is detected. This started concurrently with some internet issues that did not affect me (the problem was with a different user on this computer). The antivirus program recommends removing the threatening file, which I okay, and then moments later a new, identical alert pops up again.

I have no idea where this could be coming from because I haven't been wandering anywhere unfamiliar lately, haven't opened any sketchy emails, etc. I wonder if it could even have anything to do with imamother, which doesn't make sense to me because I haven't had any problems in the past, but this is the only thing I have open now and alerts keep popping up.

Help?!

I have Microsoft Security Essentials. The antivirus says it removed the threat and then two minutes later it pops back up again.
