I'd like to know if the infection found by Avira AntiVir is anything significant. It gave this report on the file:

The file 'E:tetris_extreme.exe'
contained a virus or unwanted program 'DR/Chiem.C.5' [dropper]
Action(s) taken:
The file was deleted!

:D Hi :

Since there is no standard "Naming Convention" among the various security companies,

that is a Question that should be researched and/or asked on the Avira Support Forums .

Did you select that what was "detected" should be "Deleted" or did the Avira program do it

"automatically" ( without your consent ) ? More and more the various security programs,

mostly antiVIRUS program(s), are having "False-Positives" based on making the

"Detections" more "sensitive" .

Hi, [~9738]. Avira asked if I wanted to delete, quarantine, ignore, or a couple others that I can't remember. I deleted it.

:D Hi :

Not a wise "1st Choice"; always Best to start by "Quarantining", then "Investigate" like you

are now doing; however, Best to start the "investigating" on the program's Online Support

Forums IF they exist . After doing the best investigating possible, can always "Delete" later .

One of the Regular Helpers on the Avast Support Forums periodically gives that Advise; he

also says IF the "Quarantined" Item does NOT effect the functioning of the computer, should

consider "Deleting" ( from the "Quarantine" ) after about 2 weeks .

The file was a game which would not affect the functionality of the computer (it was on a flash drive, anyway) and I'm assuming I'll be able to find it from a safer location easily. Can you explain why I would not want to delete the file immediately?
