Managing quarantined files
4
If Scan cannot clean or quarantine the file, you can do either of the following:
Click
Delete
to remove the file.
Click
Cancel
to close the dialog box without taking any further action.
If Scan cannot clean or delete the detected file, consult the Virus Information
Library at
http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp
for instructions on
manually deleting the file.
If a detected file prevents you from using your Internet connection or from using
your computer at all, try using a Rescue Disk to start your computer. The Rescue
Disk, in many cases, can start a computer if a detected file disables it. See “Creating
a Rescue Disk” in the online help for details.

VirusScan

Files
