I am distrustful of some offered free scans , as they might be incentivized towards pushing you to buy their paid products.

Install Malwarebytes Antimalware, and/or Hitman Pro 64, and scan away, let them delete whatever they find.

Its a trojan, and why is it still on your PC?

The exact workings don't matter. Why it is still there matters.

It could have done multiple things:
Keylogger
Copied any personal files elsewhere
Left behind control software to make your system part of a botnet
Delayed action ransomware
All of the above
