Ok so I have Norton Antivirus and a couple of days ago it started to perform the regular scan that it does every week!! At the end of the scan on the report it said " one file was infected and underneath the " delete " it had a 1!! So I guess that means it erased one of my files! I was wondering how do I found out which one it was b/c I have many files and some of them are really important to me! If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!Thanks ~Lindsay~
 
Take a look in the history under virus. It should tell you what file, location, and virus. You can also tell the AV if it can't repair the file quarantine the file. That way you can see what file it is and delete it yourself when you are satified there is no way to repair it.
