About quarantined files
PC-cillin 2002 can safely quarantine files that cannot be cleaned or suspicious files that may contain new, unknown viruses. Quarantined files will not spread and may be sent to Trend Micro's eDoctor Lab, deleted, or held for further analysis and repair.
You should quarantine files that can't be cleaned. Although you could delete the file, if you quarantine it, you have a lot more options. For example, perhaps after the next pattern file update you can clean the file. You can also restore it, send it to Trend Micro for analysis and manually cleaning, or ultimately you can still delete it if you choose.
However, infected files placed in quarantine are not immediately cleaned and the file remains infected until cleaned. For maximum protection against the latest viruses, remember to have the latest virus pattern files and scan engine updates installed on your computer.
Note: Infected files that are part of a compressed file are not automatically quarantined -- you must first decompress the file to have PC-cillin take the action specified.
