Hi theuser29,

  • When a virus infects a file, McAfee VirusScan cleans the virus and repairs the file.
  • Trojans and worms behave differently — they are self-contained and do not need to be part of another program or file to spread. The best way to eliminate these types of threats is to delete them.
  • If McAfee VirusScan has detected a threat and is unable to delete it, the best thing for you to do is run another scan to see if the file is still there.
