Hi,

Recently, I backed up the data on my desktop hard drives to an external Seagate hard drive. After the backup, I ran Quick Heal antivirus on the Seagate drive and received the following Scan Report:

J:\disk 1\Mydox_old\pix\party.zip/party/001.jpg
Detected: "JPEG/IFrame.RP"
File is skipped

J:\disk 1\Mydox_old\pix\party.zip
File is skipped

J:\disk 3\partition 1\desk\Scrivener\Scrivener_1.6.1.rar/Scrivener_1.6.1\Keygen-Lz0.rar/Keygen-Lz0\GenericKeygen.exe
Detected: "Hacktool.Keygen"
File is skipped

J:\disk 3\partition 1\desk\Scrivener\Scrivener_1.6.1.rar
File is skipped

If I understood right, two threats were detected in two individual files of the following two ZIP/RAR files: party.zip and Scrivener_1.6.1.rar

However, Quick Heal does not seem to have repaired or deleted the two affected files. Is it safe for me to keep the data as is? If not, should I delete the two affected files or do I need to delete the complete ZIP/RAR containing the affected files as well? Please advise.
 
Solution
Would deleting these individual files resolve the "threat" Yes it would most antivirus would give you the option and recommendation.

so what is this Quick Heal some free software or what ???
if you do not know what a keygen is then why are you downloading them generally they are flagged up by antivirus because they are workarounds for stolen software.

Frankly, I don't remember ever downloading keygen. These files have been lying on my hard drive for ages..over ten years now. But I don't recall ever using the Scrivener software. What about the "001.jpg" file in party.zip? It's a picture clicked from my cellphone. Would deleting these individual files resolve the "threat" or do I need to scan or run something else?

By the way, I purchased Quick Heal Pro antivirus about a fortnight ago. So it's genuine!
