There should be an option in your virus program to delete those files or
instructions on how to do so. The quarantine is only to protect the file
until it can be cleaned. If it can't, or the file isn't necessary, you
need to get rid of it. In AVG you just delete it from the quarantine
directory.
On 5/30/2003 at 1:32 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as Patsy
Becker was rumoured to have uttered....
| Well I have done everything that I was told to do
| to check for this "thing". I am still very confused.
| I went to my Norton Program and opened up the reports file and
| this is when the Trojan Horse showed up
| Date:5/23/03 Time 20:00:06 Virus Scan Started
| Date: 5/23/03 Tme 20:54:32 The file
| C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMS\SysReg.exe is infected with the Trojan
| Horse Virus; Unable to delete this file.
|
| Date 5/23/03 Time 21:09:10 The File
| C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMS\SysReg.exe is infected with the Trojan
| Horse Virus Unable to repair this file.
|
| Date 5/23/03 Time 21:08:28 The file
| C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMS\SysReg.exe was infected with the Trojan
| Horse Virus. The file was quarantined.
|
| So now my question is: Can I safely delete this file that is
| sitting in quarantine or what should I do with it. Is the
| SysReg file an important file and one that is needed. Talk
| about being confused but that I am. When it comes to the
| internal workings of the computer, I think I am not that
savvy.
| Can someone offer up some explanations and or help.
