kernel32.dll, winsock.dll, and wsock32.dll are not viruses. They are system files.



To delete a virus from the chest, right-click on a virus and press delete. It will delete the virus from your computer and it's gone forever.

Putting a virus in the "chest" is what almost every other anti-virus program calls quarantine.



NEVER DELETE, QUARANTINE FIRST.



Malware removal is somewhat of an inexact science. Mistakes can and do happen. False-positive detections happen more often then the anti-malware industry cares to admit. It's their dirty little secret.



Needed system files can be mistakenly flagged as malware. Quarantining allows a way to undo any incorrect file deletions, easily, if it ever becomes necessary. When the anti-virus vendor finds their mistake and corrects the signature definitions, for you, the user, it is too late. The file has already been permanently deleted. And then it's, "tough luck Charlie!"



A file in quarantine is totally safe. It can do no harm.



You should quarantine everything for a month or so, then if all is OK with your computer and all of your programs, then delete.
MAn, you're asking for trouble. Have your Windows CD handy, because after you destroy the installation you'll need to reload windows.
