| An available option in some antivirus scanners that allows a user to move a virus infected file to a location of the hard disk drive where it cannot infect other files or be read by anything other than the antivirus scanner program. Users concerned about the contents or data in the file should quarantine the infected file so any important data has a chance to be recovered. A virus or infected data file may also need to be quarantined if it cannot be removed or cleaned. In this case, the quarantine file will be moved to where it cannot infect the rest of the computer, protecting the system even though the file cannot be cleaned or deleted.
