Recovery Glossary > Quarantine
Quarantine is the process of separating files containing virus into another
directory, thereby reducing the danger of infecting other files in the
disk. In simple terms Quarantine is isolation of computer virus. Here
the infected files are removed and enclosed in a quarantine area. The
infected files are no longer used by any application unless the virus
is removed and the data is extracted from the infected files. Anti-virus
software includes the quarantine feature to keep the track of virus activity.
