Just downloaded a file off of Kazaa that was full of viruses. The viruses were....

Backdoor.IRC.Flood
W32.LXD.mIRC
IRC.Companion
IRC Trojan
Mirc LXD

Now I am running Antivirus 2002 and it detected these viruses with ease but it gave me the messages..

"The file C:\Windows\Temp.SCR is infected with the Backdoor.IRC.Flood virus. Unable to repair this file"

That was followed by a message saying

"The file C:\Windows\Temp.SCR is infected with the Backdoor.IRC.Flood virus. Access to the file was denied"

Now I havent checked for all of these viruses, just the IRC Trojan and the W32.LXD.mIRC viruses and there appears to be no entries in the registry nor can I find the infected files upon searching for them. With up to date virus files and none of the infected files appearing when doing a search or scan is it safe to assume that these files are deleted and I am not virused?
 
Most probably NAV 2002 has deleted the file. Better run a full scan of your machine.

Yes I have run a scan twice now and it has not detected anything, once in safe mode the other in regular. I had the bloodhound heuristics (spelling??) set to high to and still nothing was detected.
 
If NAV gave you those messages, just means it has already either quarantined or deleted the file(s). Check in the quarantine folder.
