quarantined items??

[vett]

I have a couple of quarantined items in Microsoft security essentials two are quarantined and on says removed my question is should I remove them or just leave them. also just out of curiosity where do they go when removed, into thin air?
the three I have are;
detected items
1. exploit HTML/frameRef.gen (quarantined)
2. Trojan win32/alureon.GB (removed)
3. Trojan win32/bumat!rts (quarantined)

Only if you`re in the Rockies, but seriously, they will just be written over.

Are you scanning before you open your downloads ?

What AV are you using ?

using Microsoft security essentials it scans first

You should also have Malwarebytes installed.

Never trust a program to scan for you, do it manually. Yes I know it scans for you.

I use MSE also.

I agree with AddRam, you should run Malwarebytes. As far as the items quarintines, you can go to the settings tab and select how often they are removed.

vett,

Based on what you reported for items infected, relying on just one program is not a good idea.

First, please download RogueKiller:
Tlcharger RogueKiller (Site Officiel)

When you get to the website, go to where it says:
(Download link) Lien de téléchargement
Select the version that applies to your system: x64
Click the dark-blue button that applies.
Save to the Desktop.

Close all windows and browsers.
Right-click RogueKiller and select: Run as Administrator

Press: SCAN

When done, a report opens on the Desktop: RKreport.txt

Please provide the RKreport.txt (Mode: Scan) in your reply.

(Please do not delete anything!)


Let's run the above, and then will press on to Malwarebytes, depending on what RogueKiller shows.
We may need to run something else beforehand.
