How to remove WSE_Astromendav Malware?

Hi,
I'm a local admin on Windows 7 PC. I tried uninstalling in program and Feature but it said I have no access. I followed this article, http://www.exterminate-it.com/malpedia/file/wse_astromenda#location, gain access to this folder, C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\WSE_Astromenda (I see WSE_Astromenda file name there).
But still getting no access message when I tried to uninstall it.
I have Sophos at work that Quarnteen the virus but I have not permission to take action. The desktop support is coming this afternoon and maybe need to reimage my pc to remove the virus. Is there a way to remove this without reimaging my PC? Thank you.

The problem is that I don't see the file name mentioned in this site, http://www.exterminate-it.com/malpedia/file/wse_astromenda , in the file folder or in the task manager to terminate or delete. The only possible files found in the Tasks folders are
{7EC5DF29-7B59-4F7D-B6B6-065DACBFB051} and WSE_Astromenda. However, I don't know what the first file is.

What about this Trojan Killer tool? https://www.system-tips.net/tips-remove-astromenda-search-virus/

go into task scheduler and remove astromedia, task manager should be able to stop it now, now you can delete it.
