A curiosity question. If a computer is "cleaned" (spyware checkers, antivirus checks etc) and pronounced virus free, there was a program that WAS infected. Is it now safe to use?
Secondly if that file was a zip file (program install file) is it safe to use it again, for example, or should one just 'show it the door' to the recycle bin?
