Managing items in the Quarantine
The Security History Quarantine provides a safe
location on your computer where you can isolate items
while you decide on an action to take on them.
Quarantined items are isolated from the rest of your
computer so that they cannot spread or reinfect your
computer. In some cases, you may have an item that
you think is infected, but is not identified as a risk by
the Norton AntiVirus scans. You can manually place
such items in the Quarantine.
You cannot open quarantined items accidentally and
spread the virus, but you can evaluate the quarantined
items for possible submission to Symantec.
