Techopedia Explains Virus Removal
A virus removal follows the virus scan phase, which identifies the virus and threat level. The virus also may be manually deleted, but this requires a strong understanding of viruses and the right skills to remove or reverse registry entries. If a virus cannot be deleted, the user receives a failure message.
Generally, a virus can be removed without affecting other files, but sometimes deleting a complete archive is a necessary precaution.
