Was backing up my computer earlier, when I got a message from McAfee saying I have a trojan in a shared folder on my network, and it says to remove the threat, right click on the folder, change it's properties to allow full access and then click scan.

I wouldn't give it full access, as i could possibly be a trojan downloader, heres a handy program that should sort it out. It's called malware bytes, and its free to find and download at www.malwarebytes.org . If you were to allow it full access it would have full access to to everything.
