Your only option is to get rid of it i believe.
Its not a good product anyhow. Below is some help if you should decide to follow my advice.

Download either the free AVG or Avast antivirus programmes and either the free Zonealarm or Kerio firewall programmes from within this link - https://www.techspot.com/community/...lware-removal-preliminary-instructions.58138/

Then, disconnect from the net and completely uninstall Symantec/Norton. If you have any problems in uninstalling the programme, take a look at this thread - https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic57112.html

Once you`ve completely uninstalled Symantec/Norton, reboot your system and install whichever firewall programme you chose, followed by whichever antivirus programme you chose. Reboot your system the required number of times and reconnect to the net. Run the antivirus updates.

I may be less biased than rik here, but I must agree on the course of action. =|

according to it's location you can delete it: Quarantined file-not good file.

Recommendations from this side... go the Avast! route. Recent experiences have prompted me to stay with the Avast! anti-virus programs as I have found free AVG has let a few virus's thru* into the boot sector..... even when regularly updated.
Avast! has an effective pre-boot scan and I use this rather than the previous SOPHOS pre boot for ID'ing.
Adware scanner?... recommend Ad-Aware, also free and updateable. Has kept *my delinquent clients' PCs clean and frantic calls of infections negligible + Avast! doesn't hog the memory as much for speed. Definitely a user friendly prog for most people. (And the developers are a great bunch).
