I assume that you have CA Anti-Virus. Your files should have been
quarantined and no action should have been taken. CA has released update
6606.0.0.0 to fix the problem. You had to disreguard Microsoft's warning and
keep the files in quarantine.

Once the CA Anti-Virus has been updated just restored the quarantine files.
That was the advice I was given by CA and it seemed to have worked as I did
not encounter any problems once my Anti-Virus was updated this morning.
