What leads you to that conclusion? They could be existing files that became infected. Additionally, if you're running the same AV tools on the laptop, and they haven't been quarantined there, that's further evidence that there's something different (like an infection) about the ones on the desktop. > I downloaded my version of Clamwin from the Clamwin website. ClamWin is an independent project that makes use of ClamAV technology internally. Not to dismiss your questions, but you're better off posting your question about how to get your files out of quarantine on their forums: http://forums.clamwin.com/ Their code is responsible for the quarantine action, once the AV engine says it is infected, so they'll know how to reverse it. And for your false positive question, you'll probably also reach more people there who are regularly scanning all the files on a Windows desktop.
