The above just detected a virus on my Comp.& asked if I wanted to delete or Quarantine it. I chose the latter simply because I recognised Java in the title. Can anybody tell me if I made the right choice. It was as follows
java.jar 4f011c4 Infected by Exploit.Byteverify.Gener....Should I now leave it in quarantine or delete the bugger. Thanx

Norton does the same. I've had stuff on quarantine for ages. It's like keeping specimens. After a while I delete them.

leave it in quarantine and then after a few files have stacked up in quarantine then delete it.
