Can a virus effect the computer if the file is never used?

If there is a virus on a program on my hard drive and if I never use the program then is it safe to leave the virus effected file on my hard drive in hope for a way to clean the program of the virus later on?

I have also been thinking of zipping up any infected files and have a password on the zipped file so that the infected program cannot be seen by the computer.
Would this work.

How does a program like F-Secure block a virus (blocking is one of the options when a virus has been found)?
