Complete newbie in need of help

Sophos Anti-Virus found these;
w32/VirtInf-B
Troj/Virtum-Gen
Mal/Emogen-G
Mal/Behav-010

These files are in quarrantine but I don't know how to get rid of them. I've looked on the net for quite a while and am still clueless!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. A virus called Qbot-A or something also came up, I don't think I got rid of it but its gone from the quarrantine list. From the sounds of it, it was quite a nasty virus so if anyone could help me out with that one too, it would be great.

Thanks in advance, for anyone who does help.

I have never used Sophos's Antivirus but I did find the below which may help you determine how to empty the quarantine.

Right-click on the blue shield in your system tray and choose Open. Then click on Manage Quarantine Items. You’ve opened up the Quarantine Manager. Can you see how to empty the Quarantine from this (assuming this works)?
