Re: How to delete infected items found by avira?
Since the infected items were quarantined they shouldn't be of danger anymore. You don't need to delete those files because they were renamed and the applications that needed them won't find them anymore and can't use them.
If you still want to delete them but they keep coming back I suggest you restart your PC in safe mode, perform a full antivirus scan again and delete those files sent to quarantine while still being in safe mode. |

The quarantined files are encrypted and disarmed. They won't infect your computer unless you restore them from Avira.
Anyway I found this: Quote:

Example: You have malware running, and it creates a copy of itself in the temp folder, a Live Scanner would detect the change in the temp folder, and find the virus, but it doesn't find the original.
