Why doesn`t the anti virus protection quaranteen or clean the viruses that show up on the scan? A friend told me that I have forwarded a virus to them on 2 different occassions in an email.

I wouldnt send anyone a virus in the email. If you still have the viruses you can go to http://www.trend.com and they offer a free online virus scan, if it is a cleanable virus then it will be removed, if not then you will have to write down the location and remove it yourself.

AV (anti virus) programs cant remove all viruses. they may be able to detect them but sometimes you need to get the name of the virus and do a quick google search and you can find the correct steps to remove about any virus.
now your AV will remove alot of viruses dont get me wrong. Im not saying that it wont remove any. its just a few that are tricky and it cant
If an ativirus program shows that a virus exists in a file, it gives you the option to either clean the file or delete it (in case the AV program cannot clean it). If the virus definition file is older, some infected files may go unchecked if they have some newer virus and your friend for example who has a newer virus definition file (or a better AV program) can detect it.
Check if your virus definition list is updated (should be at most a couple of weeks old) or maybe get a better AV scanner.
