It is to be noted that once a virus is identified the antivirus software attempts to remove the virus from the file. if the software cannot remove the infected file it will send the file to an isolated area on the hard disk called: a quarantine.

What is the use of a quarantine?

Quarantine was an early 1990s antivirus program that automatically separated contaminated data on a computer's hard disk. Quarantined files were no longer capable of infecting their originating system.

It is to be noted that an anti-virus and anti-malware applications employ quarantine to isolate contaminated data on a computer. This program can identify files that include viruses and worms, as well as contaminated system files.

Quarantined files are encrypted and relocated to a secure location, limiting further execution and any harm to the user's machine. Users can permanently remove or recover files from quarantine in each product's Quarantine Manager.
