The main purpose of quarantine in such apps as Ad-Aware is to
a) isolate the spyware so it can't do anything, b) keep a copy so you can forward
it to Ad-Aware for analysis. But usually you only need to do that if Ad-Aware detects,
but doesn't identify, the spyware, i.e. if it's something new. If a name is given,
it's a known threat and should just be deleted. In fact, just delete the damn thing
in any case, they've got thousands of users all over the world submitting reports
daily. :)
There are too many people in the world who look,
but do not see; listen, but do not hear; acknowledge, but do not understand; speak
when they have nothing to say.
