what does it mean when a virus scanner has "quarantined" an infected file on your computer​

Sagot :

Answer:

When the antivirus puts an infected file into quarantine, it deletes the file from its original location. It's no longer there and can no longer infect your computer. Then it makes changes to the file so that it cannot run as a program, and puts it in a hidden folder that other programs cannot see or access
