Will i lose this file?

I have 2 viruses which my antivirus put in quarantine, how do i find out which files these are? I tried to repair both and submitt them but didn't work.I don't want to lose them if i don't have to. The viruses are Bloodhound.Exp. and Download.ject. Thanks for any info.

"Bloodhound" is the generic name for a program that your virus protection doesn't recognise and thinks may be a virus. This file should be submitted in case it is a virus.

Download.Ject is a virus, more information on it can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/download_ject.mspx

Updating windows will stop you being infected by Download.Ject again.

If the file can't be cleaned and has to be qaurantined it usually means that the file is purely a virus and not an infected a file which you had previously.
