delete vs. quarantine

On my McAfee VirusScan, i can choose to either delete or quarantine this file that was found on my computer. What's the difference between delete and quarantine?

Re: delete vs. quarantine

delete will remove it from your system. quarantine will stick it in a protected folder which you can check later to recover something if it was quarantined wrongly.

Typically the quarantined files will be deleted after a certain amount of time unless you take action to stop that. Sometimes you are responsible for clearing out the quarantined stuff to officially delete it.
