Help... computer dummy need help with beagle virus
I know a little about computers, but I'm not really that good with stuff.

I opened an attachment this morning, and Symantec automatically quarantined it. So my stupid question is what do I do now?

Should I delete the file in quarantine? Or call my brother in law, that knows what he is doing?

I'm afraid to do anything at this point. In case I hit the wrong button.

The last time I caught a virus it took my brother in law 3 weeks before he could get anything fixed, and I don't think I can live with out DU that long again.

Thanks in advance for any advice. :)

1. leave it quarantined for now and...
go to this website and download the .exe to remove all the beagle virus files. The link is about half way down the page.
