Hope you can stand another one ...

Suppose I download a file and my resident AV shouts "don't panic, 
there's a trojan in the Downloads folder, recommended action: quarantine"
So, I proceed as advised.
What is it supposed to happen thereafter ?
Is the .exe now functional and safe? - i.e.: does the av remove the 
trojan or whatever without damage of the infected file ?
It could be that the entire .exe is a virus, but that's not what worries me.

More to come: stand fast, please.

Fernando.
