should i delete or quarentine

Whats the difference between deleting and quaranting viruses and spyware?

'Quarantine' puts the spyware in a "vault", where it can't react with other programs.

If after you quarantine a program, and your system starts to act up, you can assume you removed something you shouldn't have, or it was removed improperly.

In this case, you can remove the program from quarantine (restore it), and hopefully correct the problem.

Once you 'delete' a program, it's gone for good!

That's why it's always a good idea to 'quarantine' things, for a couple of weeks, to make sure it's removal, won't effect the operation of your computer.

Whats the difference between deleting and quaranting viruses and spyware?

As an example, if you instruct your antivirus software to delete all infected files, those that were infected by a true file infecting virus could also be deleted. This could impact the normal features and functionality of your operating system or programs you use. On the other hand, antivirus software can't 'clean' a worm or a trojan, because there is nothing to clean - the entire file IS the worm or trojan. Quarantine plays a nice middle ground, because it moves the file to safe storage under control of the antivirus program - so it can't harm your system - but it's there in case a mistake was made and you need to restore that file.
