Quarantine is a safe repository for files that may be harmful. The product can place both harmful items and potentially unwanted applications in quarantine to make them harmless. You can restore applications or files from the quarantine later if you need them. If you do not need a quarantined item, you can delete it. Deleting an item in the quarantine removes it permanently from your computer.
