5. Quarantine
Most malware that is detected on computers is not desirable and may be deleted immediately. However, not all malware is dangerous and the Quarantine function is an important and useful tool that permits the user to isolate malware detected on the computer, that s/he may not yet be ready to delete, or may wish to investigate further.
An occasion may arise when the user wishes to recover a quarantined file. Because of this, all files stored in the quarantine are made harmless, until a decision to delete or restore is made.
