An antivirus program can quarantine it, so that no program can use it and it lies dormant on the HDD. It also can delete it so it is gone and won't use up space or harm your system.

If you suspect there is a virus on your computer, you should immediately scan your computer with an installed antivirus. When your antivirus finds a virus, either have it quarantined or removed. By quarantining a virus, you have the ability to send the file to the antivirus company for analysis, so that way they can protect other clients from the virus.
