Will using Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool to "clean up" infected files delete those files?


I downloaded this tool from Microsoft's official website, and upon running the scan I found out that some files I use for office work were infected. Will "cleaning up" those files and Win32 system administration files delete those files or risk my computer? P.S. I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 (genuine). Apparently, one of those viruses disallows me to download SP2 from Microsoft's official website

I don't think it should delete any files unless they are infected. I recommend you use Ad-aware or Spybot: Search and Destroy instead as Microsoft's tools aren't usually up to scratch. After that you should be able to install Windows XP SP2
