ahhhh! have i deleted the trojan horse or hot?!?

Question

i just went onto a website, and an Avast! alert came up, saying a trojan horse had been found
the options were, rename, delete, no action, or move to chest.
the reccomended action was 'move to chest' so i clicked that... what does this mean? have i gotten rid of the trojan horse or not?

Answer 1

You did the right thing. It's in your chest it can't get out. You can delete it anytime you want.

Answer 2

No the trojan is not removed it is isolated to a quaaratine for now. usually these items are quaaratined untill a removal tool can be found for these.

Answer 3

actually what you did was probably allow the virus into your computer. You should not have clicked on it at all. Run your anti-virus, mal-ware, anti-spyware, etc and hopefully it will delete it for you

Answer 4

This is how my computer died.

Stupid trojan horse... I hate them.
