It depends on the antivirus software you're using and how it's configured. Some programs may flag or block certain files, while others might not detect them at all. Always check your specific antivirus settings.

Malwarebytes may be able to eliminate the threat, but if not, you can attempt to delete the identified file yourself. Should that fail, McAfee can scan the specific file directly (it might have missed it during a standard check). If neither method works, reinstalling Windows would likely be the most effective solution to ensure complete removal.
