So Ive been gettting use to checking the virus scans on my computer when I came across a loist of quarenteined items. Does that mean they have viruses on them?? Should i just delete all the things on the list or keep them there..?
ALSO,
If I go to Norton System works then to scan for viruses and click "scan my computer" and nothing pops up about a virus is my computer still okay?? Is there nothing else to do so i can be sure my computer is clean and free??..

get rid of norton
get Avast! Antivirus and Comodo Firewall
u do not need ANYTHING else
norton slows down your computer, it has slow scanning speeds, and the quarantines do not work always...it also does not pick up most of the viruses, spyware, or trojans
both of the programs i mentioned are FREE

The quarantined items can be deleted. They probably had a virus or other threat that Norton detected.
A clean scan by a single anti-virus/adware/spyware program may not find every threat. I never rely on just one.
