I found a virus today on the computer and followed the instruction to remove
it and put it in the chest.
Now that it is safely in the chest i am not sure whether to leave it there
or should I delete it?

Can look at the file found in ( PATH ) below and let me know whether it can
be deleted?

C:\WINDOWS\system\instsrv.exe [L] Win32:Trojan-gen. {Other} (0)

File was successfully moved to chest...

Thanks
