Where does virus go when delected from the antivirus quest?
It goes in "Quarantine" in quarantine, the virus can't harm the computer, and you can go to quarantine, and it will have all of your infected files, and tell you the name of the virus that's infecting the file, and you can delete the infected files.

If you burn infected files onto an optical disc then those files remain infected and would remain on the optical disc permanently.

The purpose of quarantining infected items is so that the infected files do not leak the infection into other files; potentially damaging your computer. :)

no not really because there are some other types of viruses that once infected a certain file it affects other files too such as program files. Might as well heal your PC with an updated anti virus software.

How do you remove a Trojan horse called downloader.lookme.A when AVG can't remove it?
I had this same problem with a computer at work. AVG 7.0 wouldn't heal the infected files automatically or move them to the Virus Vault. I moved the infected files into the Virus Vault myself. You can do this in AVG. Once in the Vault, you can delete them. Don't delete if they are critical or actual system files. The infected files were simply temporary Internet files, but because they were in Windows\Temporary Internet Files\IE content (Windows98), they read as system files and AVG wouldn't touch them. I ran another couple of scans after doing this and the machine was clear. Hope this helps.
Is qtfont'dot'for a safe file?
All I can tell you is that the QTFont.for (anf the QTFont.qfn) on my system are both virus free. This does not mean that your files are OK, as they could have been infected by a virus. I would suggest that you send your suspect files to www.virustotal.com and check them out. Just paste the address to your web browser, BROWSE and SENT the files. Good luck! WCS.Tony
How do you retrieve files from a computer infected with a virus and displays a blue screen of death?

What kind of virus is The Jerusalem virus?
Jerusalemis a DOS virus first detected in Jerusalem, in October 1987. On infection, the Jerusalem virus becomes memory resident (using 2kb of memory), and then infects every executable file run, except for COMMAND.COM. .COM files grow by 1,813 bytes when infected by Jerusalem and are not re-infected. .EXE files grow by 1,808 to 1,823 bytes each time they are infected. The virus re-infects .EXE files each time the files are loaded until they are too large to load into memory. Some .EXE files are infected but do not grow because several overlays follow the genuine .EXE file in the same file. Sometimes .EXE files are incorrectly infected, causing the program to fail to run as soon as it is executed.
