Greetings,
How would I go about returning quarantined files to where they came from? They all seem to be false positives (Trojan Downloader.small-829) What would happen if I just deleted Clamwin?
Would the files be deleted too? I would like to do this anyway and re-install because I can't seem to update it. I am running Windows ME.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

you can read the scan log and copy files back to the original locations specified in the log file.
If you remove clamwin then quarantine folder will be removed also.

Thanks alch,
Sorry to take so long.
Some of the files were RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FSxxx.CAB files and couldn't be moved. I disabled System Restore, enabled it again, and deleted the files. Some were Diskeeper files, I deleted them and re-installed Diskeeper.
When deleting Clamwin and cleaning up with Easycleaner, I discovered thousands of Clamav TEMP files, which I deleted. So far, things seem to be working OK. I don't think I will re-install Clamwin. Thanks for your help.
