viruses in exe and rar files
i downloaded a rar file that contains W32.HLLW.Gaobot.gen which Norton could not remove, fxgaobot, f-bot and kaspersky could not detect
inside the rar file is a exe that contains the virus, and being the novice that i am, i extracted the exe file from the rar file, does that mean that the virus has been activated? if not, how can i delete the files? what should i do? |

Re: viruses in exe and rar files
Extracting the exe from the rar shouldn't activate the virus. The exe usually needs to be run.
