avast! scan detected spyware - how to delete? or not?

I have mac lion and ran a system scan on avast! and the program detected some spyware called a bankfraud trojan. I "deleted" them with the button. Am I done? They show up in the full system scan window as "deleted."
Thanks!

The safer option is always send to Chest instead of direct delete.
You can run a full scanning with avast to be sure you're clean.

Hi,
Actually, we don't have any chest in avast! for Mac.
If you delete a file and there is a status "deleted" then the file is gone and you are safe. Note that we also detect Windows malware on your Mac.
Regards,
Jan
