    A malware file was mistakenly downloaded in my system. But it was blocked by Chrome. When I checked protection history then it was showing that the threat was quarantined. Is the threat removed from my system. Or I need to remove it from the quarantined area also. Or it will be automatically removed from the quarantined area?

    :)
