    If you ran the scan via the right-click context menu, make sure you selected "Advanced options" -> "Clean with ESET Smart Security".

    Hello Again :D

    Just to supplement what Marcos has already written, just to illustrate, if you should have any doubt. (Now it is bedtime from this side of the world.)

    Thanks a lot mate. It is correctly working and so far eliminated 44 infections include my kmplayer setup file .:)
    But still to clean the infection i have to choose the right-context menu >clean file option. Other scans are not cleaning the threat even after i changed the cleaning level to strict as per the directed page in the above link.

    Smart scan checks all files on all disks and cleans possible infections automatically.
