Norton Anti -virus
After a full system virus scan my Norton Anti-virus 2000 picked up a PW steal trojan and put in quarantine. What is the proper way of disguarding it.
I want to just delete and then empty the recycle bin. I'm not sure what will happen if it is let out of quarantine? Will it infect my hard drive if it leaves quarantine for any reason and can it reproduce itself.
I just want it out of here.
Thank you

NAV doesn't quarantine it unless it is hopeless. Go ahead and delete it (and empty your recycle bin at that time if anyone else uses your computer, just to keep it from getting restored). If it's a corrupted file that you need, you will have to replace it with a clean version, of course.
