hey there - I'm really sorry if someone has already started a thread about this but as I'm not here that often, I could not find the right thread and I am starting a new one.

concerning the problem: I downloaded a file (tuxguitar actually) and wanted to install it, but thank god my laptop did warn me and I ran a virus check first (bit defender). bit defender told me, that there was a

Trojan.Generic.97172

in the file and I did not open it, bit defender also told me, that the file could not be disinfected but was instead moved (well, to where I do not know).

is there any danger now? what should I do?
I'm a lilttle scared as you read lots of nasty stuff about trojans (keylogger and so on) and I would be glad if somenone could help me with their expertise.

thank you so far
Markus
