Answer:
No, it will not affect your computer. If MacAfee, claims it deleted it then you should be okay. Please be careful next time whenever going to websites or downloading. I suggest you use Avast! Home Edition and Spybot S & D for your security. Good Luck!

Hi Niki, No, in short you'll have to do a bit more. Here;s a guide including some free removal tools.... In order to successfully remove malware infections (viruses, spyware, adware etc) from your PC you need to follow a methodical approach as well as using effective (and free) tools. There’s a decent guide covering this that you can work through at My Slow PC http://www.MySlowPC.co.uk/ – click on the “Troubleshooting” link. Here’s my advice from it: 1.) Turn System Restore OFF so any infection that you remove is not restored. 2.) Scan with a combination of the best detection utilities as you’ll find different scanners can sometimes pick up different infections. E.g. * McAfee Stinger – a free stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. * SpyBot Search & Destroy – a spyware/adware scanner * Lavasoft Adaware – for spyware/adware Note – it might be a good idea to disconnect your network connection once you’ve updated them with the latest virus/spyware definitions. This is due to the fact that often an infection is trying to spread over your network. 3.) If the above fails or you’re not sure if you’re still infected, when you start your PC tap the F8 key, select “Safe Mode” and repeat the scans once you’re connected. I hope the above helps, as mentioned the guide above is a lot more detailed and the My Slow PC site is pretty useful. Good luck!

You cannot delete files from System32 folder since it will affect your Windows stability. You probably should download and run Malwarebytes scanner for spyware detection and removal http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html Or try Combo Fix if Malwarebytes cannot remove it permanently. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix Make sure you download from the link given above (for security purpose) because there are many fraudulent sites offering download of virus infected ComboFix. Follow instructions. Works for me... I got rid of three viruses which Malwarebytes cannot remove permanently.
