OS is XP SP2 ... These files are shown as type .htm from many programs and directories ranging from games such as BF2 to C:\Windows\System32\oobe\setup\timezone.htm as an example. Also are from the help files of Windows and others,etc. They appear to me to be dialogue or help type files. They all have "last changed" dates of either 12/31/98 or 12/12/2000 which makes no sense as these are different proggies installed over many years. Perhaps they are all original Windows installation files and are false positives? I just noticed that there is ONE file among the 1100+ quarantined, C:\Windows\delete.bat, which is listed as VBS:Malware-gen, with a last-changed date of may 2007. Can all the htm files be restored as a group the same way they were quarantined? Thanks so much for helping me out.
