Norton Snagged a Virus and it isn't for the Bird Flu

My old Norton captured and quarantined 5 alleged trojan viruses. They are as follows:

File Name:Beyond.class Virus: Downloader.Trojan

File Name:Counter.class Virus:Trojan.ByteVerify

File Name:VerifierBug.class Virus:Trojan.ByteVerify

File Name:Web.exe Virus:Download.Trojan

File Name:Worker.class Virus:Trojan.ByteVerify

I only have a few days till my Norton needs renewed and I'm going to renew, but rather uninstall Norton and install something else. But with these viruses in Quarantine I'm half afraid to. Can I just delete the things ? Or what should I do ?

So are you saying that these five files are my files that are perhaps infected with the corresponding above listed trojan viruses ?

Beyond.class
Counter.class
VerifierBug.class
Web.exe
Worker.class

Am I too lake to use HT on the PC in question ?
It's our other PC in the house..

It's very possible. However, I'm telling you just delete the files through Norton. You'll be fine. But you can use HT this if you want. Chances are you're fine once you delete the files in question tho.

Can't even find a java cache folder...
All files were listed as being from the original folder:
C:\WINNT\TEMP

Which I failed to mention that I'm running Win2K.

Once you've cleared everything out of your quarantine, you'll be good to go. The fact you're running Win2K shouldn't matter.

Thanks to all.. Consesus seems to be to just delete and seems to have worked. I find that I already had HT, although at this point I can't make much sense out of it. It'll take some more time working with it
