Why does antivirus software quarantine viruses and malware instead of completely deleting them? I think it would be better to make sure your computer is safe by completely getting rid of them. How can I manually remove quarantined items?

为何防病毒软件隔离病毒和恶意软件，而不是完全删除它们？ 我认为最好完全摆脱它们，以确保计算机安全。 如何手动删除隔离的物品？

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributors Julie Pelletier and Mokubai have the answer for us. First up, Julie Pelletier:

超级用户贡献者Julie Pelletier和Mokubai为我们找到了答案。 首先，朱莉·佩勒捷(Julie Pelletier)：

Antimalware applications provide a quarantine option, which is often on by default for two reasons:

反恶意软件应用程序提供了隔离选项，默认情况下，该选项通常处于启用状态，原因有两个：

1. Keeping a backup of the items identified as threatening in case of a false positive. Although not very common, I have seen cases of false positives on many different legitimate application files and drivers.
   保留被误认为是威胁的项目的备份。 尽管不是很常见，但我已经看到许多不同的合法应用程序文件和驱动程序出现误报的情况。
2. Having the items in quarantine may allow for them to be better (further) investigated. The fact that a particular virus or malware matches a known signature does not mean that it is exactly the same, but may actually have other unique characteristics.
   将这些物品隔离起来可以使它们得到更好的(进一步)调查。 特定病毒或恶意软件匹配已知特征的事实并不意味着它完全相同，而是实际上可能具有其他独特特征。

Followed by the answer from Mokubai:

随后是Mokubai的回答：

If a virus or malware has embedded itself into a file you actually want, such as a Word document or similar, then outright deletion may be the worst option from the user’s perspective. Quarantine at least gives you a chance, however risky, to get the actual file contents you need back.

如果病毒或恶意软件已将其自身嵌入到您实际想要的文件(例如Word文档或类似文件)中，则从用户的角度来看，彻底删除可能是最糟糕的选择。 隔离至少可以使您有机会(但有风险)取回需要的实际文件内容。
