Bitdefender 2012 Cannot Clean

techease

I plugged my 500GB external into an infected machine. Immediately all my folders and files were "corrupted". Everything was a command prompt shortcut. I updated BD2012 and scanned my hard drive. 6 trojans were found but bit defender was not giving me a "Delete" or "Disinfect" Or "Qurantine" option. Infact, the only option I had was "take no action"

I decided to scan the drive in rescue mode. In rescue mode, two OTHER viruses were found... Where did the initial 6 go?

I was able to delete these two viruses which were really just cracks for some programs.

What's up with that?
