      What is your current antivirus that quarantined the file? and how many antivirus do you have installed? Do you have an anti-malware, spyware?

        Unfortunately not all anti-spyware cleans everything. Some AV+AS  links/website offer free download only to find out that later it could damage your system registry. Did AV+AS came with your computer or downloaded?  Latest AVG antivirus + antispyware have much better fix and protection. Can you still boot to desktop?

          i bought my computer with it i bought it as a disk yes i can still boot to desktop only thing is an error message shows up saying that .dll file is missing which is in quarantine at the moment i tried cleaning it but my antivirus told me to wait until i have an update that can clean that virus so that i can restore the file back to its original location :-\
