I simply want to know the difference .. between the option of CLEAN or DELETE .. when a virus is present.
I have McAfee.
It asks do I want to clean or delete the file infected.
Can someone explain the difference and tell me ... if it is cleanable .. is that the better choice? Or should I always delete an infected file? Which is the better choice?
And, if I clean it .. what exactly is McAfee doing .. when it CLEANS the file? Is the file (after it is cleaned) .. now considered still a "good" file? Will it operate normally now .. after being cleaned? What exactly does McAfee do when it "CLEANS" an infected file?
I would love it if someone could tell me what this all means.
Thanks,
Gary
