No Option for Cleaning Up Threats / Mac OSX

Hello.  Ran first scan on Mac OSX 10.6.7.  Here is the screen shot for the results --

As you can see, the "Clean Up Threat" button is grayed out.  Should I "Clear From List" or just keep them in Quarantine?

  • The "damaging" incoming mail will have an attachment, likely with a .exe, .pif, or .com extension.  This email might be from someone you know, but the message content should look a little strange.

    However, this is a Windows-only piece of malware, and will not execute or spread on a Mac.  So to prevent spreading it yourself, you just have to ensure that you never intentionally forward the message to anyone who uses Windows.  Of course, with On-Access scanning enabled, SAV will prevent you from doing this in the first place.
