Delete or Quarantine ?

[geeknerd]

Hello,

Which is better when it comes to virus, trojans,etc.. ?

When a virus is quarantined does that mean your system can't be infected with the same virus while it is quarantined ?

So I'm wondering is it better to delete or quarantine.

thanks

Viruses in quarantine can't infect system. Quarantine is for safety, in case of false detection. If you are sure it's a virus, choose delete, if not, quarantine.

If a post mortem is being held over what likely caused the computer to become infected. hijacked, etc., then the ability to view the quarantined item(s) in the virus vault may prove helpful. Just plain deleting 'em denies this opportunity.

one simple answer: NO, it can get infected many times over with the same virus...
