Trojan 32

My Microsoft Security Essentials quarantined Trojan:Win 32/Winwebsec. How
do I permanently delete this from my computer? It won't let me in the
History section of the main page in security essentials?

Can I keep it quarantined and not worry about it?

It's a brand new computer Win 7 64 bit i7 processor.

I have no idea where I got this.

And your Internet Explorer question would be...?

Will installing MSE clean up my already-infected computer?

Did you upgrade to Win7 64-bit or is it a brand-new computer?

What anti-virus application or security suite was installed before you
installed MSE, was your subscription still current, and did you uninstall it
before you installed MSE?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?
