    any file that's infected would need to scanned by av software and then quarantined or deleted.  ie, you can't safely remove a virus from a fla file.

     

    you could ask for zipped xfl files.  they allow deletion of an infected file without deleting the entire xfl.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
