   Mornin'
   
   Bitdefender is stopping a "backdoorhax" virus in a file on my C drive, but apparently not deleting it or quarantining it, as it shows up every now and again during AV scans:
   
   C:\windows\system32\zq.sys
   
   Can I just delete this zq.sys file, or does my PC need it to run?
   
   Thanks,
   
   Bob
