So what do you do if you told it to delete the supposed rootkit?

Hmmm... Delete is not the best alternative, nor the safer.
Better would be send files to Chest (that allows restore).
Get the file from another (similar) computer?
Overinstall Windows?
I can't guess other solutions. Once deleted, the file is gone.

Thanks.  What I wound up doing was restoring the OS. Fortunately that was easy and I had backups of my data.
