    Hi P-Dogg, the easiest fix is still to just delete the quarantine file. This can be done manually or by running the FixUpdate.vbs script.
    Just to confirm even though it will remove other items from your quarantine , providing you have your On-Access scanner enabled it will quarantine them again. All you are really doing is selecting the detections and telling them to "clear from list" they are still blocked so you aren't, putting yourself at risk by doing this.
