Is it better to disinfect files that are infected by viruses, or to
delete the infected files?

I've set my virus program to automatically delete virus-infected files.
I don't know if that's the right thing to do.

Thanks.

Tony

Set it to disinfect them, and if it fails, delete them automatically.

If a virus can be cleaned from an infected file, great..... other wise just
get rid of the file.
