I quote...
"Those using earlier versions of the DATS (< 4160), Extra.dat(< ver 4),
or SuperExtra(< ver 4) should update to the latest available as noted
below. Once you have updated to the 4160 DAT files, delete any EXTRA.DAT
files that you may be using. "

This should make CLEANING work in NAV too.

McAfee is CLEANING the infected executables.  Norton is deleting them.
I
suggest getting your hands on a copy of Virusscan or Netshield to do the
cleaning portain at least.
