    Worm.MiniZip which is detected on your computer system is an explorerZip worm. This worm normally uses the email software like Outlook, Outlook Express and Exchange for spreading from one computer system to another computer system. This Worm.MiniZip searches for the files with the extension “doc, xls, ppt, h, asm, c, cpp” in the local drive and also in the mapped derive. After finding these files this Worm.MiniZip reduces the file size to zero. Hence it is impossible to recover the lost data.

    Re: Update your antivirus software

    If your current antivirus software is able to detect Worm.MiniZip on your computer system then it must be able to delete it from your computer system. I think the problem is with the updates of your antivirus software. According to me you must update your antivirus software and then try to remove this Worm.MiniZip from your computer system. It will be better if you try to remove Worm.MiniZip in safe mode. For going in safe mode you have to press the F8 at the time of restart.
