Virus Removal

[Koala3]

My Nortons Anti-virus programme has quarantined a virus. Its called [email protected] and the file name is Setup.exe. It cannot be repaired, so is it ok to delete it from Quarantine, or will this affect the workings of the computer - that is, will just the virus be deleted, or the whole file? What is the best thing to do? I'm worried if I delete it, I won't be able to use the computer. My Operating System is Win98SE.
Thankyou.

Hi Koala3

Welcome to TSG!

If the file is in quarantine it is harmless. Not only is it harmless, but if it is quarantined and it is a file needed to run anything on your computer you should be able to tell that pretty quickly because it cannot perform any kind of function when it is quarantined. I doubt if it is a necessary file and you can probably delete it from quarantine without worry.
