I have 4 Trojan Horses quarantined in Norton. It can't repare them and Norton is fully updated. What should I do with them?
 
Run them :shh:

Alternatively, just delete the offending file. Trojans don't tend to infect files - the entire file is the virus, generally.

Yeah, on NOD32 if the program can't delete it then it just quarantines it for you to delete manually. Even if the file is something used by another program that has been infected, do you really want to leave that trojan on your PC? Delete the file.
 
Stupid (stupid) question, but deleting the "archive" of a quarantined item in Ad-aware SE is the same thing as deleting the file right?

Isn't the archive just the files that where conected to the viri so that if deleting them ****ed over your computer you can replace them?
