Altruistic trojan horse has invaded my PC

[jeefman417]

Malwarebytes did not identify the altruistic trojan horse.  I just happened to identify it when I was looking at my task manager CPU usage and all of a sudden altruistic took over the entire CPU.  I found the file within my programs and uninstalled but I suspect it will return.  Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks.
