cannot quarentine infected files

Hi Joel,

Two things:

1. It probably means you do not have the permissions to delete those files.

2. Be *very* careful what you're deleting. Can you give me an idea of which files are triggering, and what they're called? If they being with "PUA" then they may not be such a problem. I recommend unchecking the "scan for PUAs" option in settings.

Thanks,
Dave M

Dead Center hit. All PUAs dealing with spotify and wine and such. Have changed setting. Thanks.
