    Leave them in quarantine for now, while you run the pc for a few days to check all is good. After that, I'd go back and delete them :) Interestingly (and suprisingly ;) ) they are all mcafee quarantine locations - never thought mcafe would find anything to quarantine in the first place :rotfl:

    Yes i was quite surprised to see that Mcafee had managed to 'catch' anything too! :eek:

    Am going to leave my computer as it is for a few days (as had enough of it now!) and then uninstall Mcafee and get some good internet security.

    Thanks again for all your help :T:T

    you'll need to use the mcafee removal tool - step 2 on this page >>>>>

    recommend you use avira or avast free editions (both from filehippo.com , leave mbam on your system :)

    Thanks for that, i did realise it wasnt an 'easy' removal - which is why i was still running McAfee, as was too lazy to remove it! But look where that attitiude got me lol! So thanks for the link : )
