Hello!
I've just joined a few moments ago and I have a quick question? I have 6 items that are Quarantined, if I DELETE ALL, will they be removed from my computer or will they be re released back into my computer or recycle bin?

Mine are all either Spybot.Zbot's and Backdoor.Bot.
If the answer above is Yes, I can delete, are these ok to delete?

Thank you!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

"delete all" will permanently delete the files. Items in quarantine are completely safe while in there and I normally leave them there for a couple weeks. If everything is running normally, then I go ahead and delete them.

Thank you VERY much, this forum is amazing! I just had a "new popup virus/malware called y.exy, a box pops and says windows cannot find. So if anyone has this, run Malwarebytes.

Well, if these are just spybots and backdoors, so I defiantly want them out. Hope it's ok to delete.

Thanks again!

I would post in the HJT part of this forum too, A backdoor bot I believe is pretty nasty so you want to make sure you got everything removed.
