The only reason you have the option to QUARANTINE is because whoever made that software you are using has some reserves as to the efficiency of his software ! In others words, software makers do protect themselves ; if you mess up your PC by removing TOTALLY what the software they have designed has found , they are off the hook cause they have given you the choice of quarantine and re-install if you decide so !

It all depends on how well you trust the piece of software you are using !

You can always empty the quarantine cache from time to time !

The software you are using (SPYSWEEPER) always makes a folder where it puts whatever it removes if you chose ""quarantine"" -- == means it puts the stuff where you can retrieve it ! In the old days people were isolated from others for 40 days when they fell sick with a contagious illness ; that was a quarantine , from latin for 40 days.

When you empty that folder, there gone.
