sizzlinmandolin answered Wednesday March 1 2006, 12:49 pm: Quarentine them! Never ignore them. Ignoring them does just what it says, it ignores them and lets them continue to slow down your computer. After you've quarentined them, there's an icon on the top that looks like a lock. Click on that. Then highlight anything that is on the quarentine list. Click on the icon on the top with an erasor to delete them completely. When files are in quarentine they aren't hurting your computer or slowing it down, but you should delete them so they don't take up space. Good luck!

If you ignore them nothing happens to them. You are basically telling the program to ignore them next time they come across them on your computer. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

russianspy1234 answered Tuesday February 28 2006, 6:55 pm: ignore will let them keep running so thats definitely bad for your computer. the best thing to do is to delete them all. just right click on the list, click select all, and then delete them.
