    In Windows Security, what does remove from quarantine mean?


    Windows Defender quarantined a threat. When I look at what was blocked, the security offers two choices, Remove or Allow. My question is what do those actions really mean? I interpret Remove to mean permanently remove from the device and Allow to mean override Defender and restore the item flagged to its original location.


    Can someone please confirm?

    :)

    How do I remove quarantined threats

    Windows Defender did what it is designed to do - quarantined a Trojan. Now I would like to remove it from quarantine. How do I do that? I know Windows says it will removed periodically, but I do not know how long that may be, so would like to manually get it off of my system now.

    The quarantine history also lists the same threat 3 times with the same date. Does that mean it tried to enter my system 3 times in the same day?

    1. Open Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender.
    2. Select the History tab.
    3. Select Quarantined items and then View details. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
    Once you have reviewed the quarantined items you can:

    • Select Remove all to delete all quarantined software.
    • Select individual files, and then select Remove or
      Restore      .
    • Select Quarantined items and then View details. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
    Most files detected by Microsoft security software are quarantined. This means the file is moved and stopped from running or doing anything to your PC.

    A quarantined file does not pose any risk to your PC. You can leave a file in quarantine for as long as you like.
