Most probably it wouldn't be necessary. This file is indeed a malware.
But, in the future, to be safe, try to repair before  :)

Then what should I do?
When? After sending the file to Chest?
Wait some days, scan the file again to check if it is still detected as being a virus.
Then delete it...
Oh, Chest is safe, you can let the files there and they won't be able to 'escape' from there and infect your computer.
