    It is permanently quarantined, but you may want to just delete any quarantined items often, to be safe. Make sure you keep the software up-to-date, and just avoid uninstalling the programs. Also, when you uninstall, it may ask you to delete quarantined items.

    When you uninstall the software, it will tell you that you have files in the quarantine area, then will ask you if you would like to permanently delete them

    No, they will not. but, those are the programs you need to have. use free of mbam and sas once a week,, Reason is this. no av programs gets everything. So, most peeps run mbam and sas frequently.@
