    Let the scan finish and you will get a option to clean, delete or quarantine it.

    The first option is always to attempt to CLEAN the infection so that if the code has entered good files on your system you can try to repair them...

    Next option is to DELETE the infection..

    Some people may choose to Quarantine the files which moves the files to a designated area on the harddrive created by the virus scanner which is like putting the files in jail.. they supposedly cannot harm other files from within this location... and provides you the opportunity to replace them.

    Good Luck

    You can download free Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus at:

    http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/

    I use both of these. Download. Then update, then scan. Anti-Virus first then the Anti-Spyware.

    This should work fairly well. AVG usually cleans up most Trojans. After that go to :

    http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6...

    and download the latest updates for your computer.

    Hope this helps.
