Title: Quarantine Question
Post by: srtony1946 on April 27, 2008, 12:22:19 PM

When your antivirus puts a virus In the quarantine folder, can you delete the contents of that folder without harming your computer. And why does the antivirus quarantine the virus instead of deleting It or removing.

This is just in case, AV quarantined wrong file.
If your computer works fine for next 2-3 days, you can empty quarantine folder.
