Can I delete this backup file
I had a trojan virus yesterday. Norton cleaned the trojan out but in quarantine in Norton I have a file that it made a back up copy of that says this file is an infected backup copy of the repaired item. Should I delete this file? Or just leave it in quarnatine back up? My virus scanner says my system is clean.

Can you get a trojan from playing a game that uses active x on the internet? If you turn off all active x wouldn't the web pages look weird?

Yes and Yes. A firewall (hardware or software) should prevent most Trojan attacks.
Delete quarantined files.

Hi, thanks I deleted the file. Everything is fine like before. I had my firewall up when I got the trojan, I think it came through with an active x bingo game I was playing on line or it hitch-hiked a ride with my virus definition update. I don't know.
