quarantine to make sure no applications you want to run are removed.
Automatically quarantine detected threats - mark this checkbox to specify that you want to have
all possibly detected threats moved to the safe space of the Virus Vault immediately. Keeping the

applications detected as possible malware to be automatically and immediately moved to the Virus
Vault.
