Marty, Quarantine is a safe place in AVG Internet Security and AVG AntiVirus FREE for storing potentially harmful files and completely isolating them from the rest of your operating system. Files inside Quarantine cannot be accessed or run by any outside processes, software applications, or viruses.
If a file has been infected and moved to quarantine, it means AVG virus database already has information about that infection. You can use 'Send the file for analysis' option when you are not sure whether the detection is valid or not. You need not delete the items in quarantine as they are already isolated from other files on your PC.
