    Hello gurus:

    I was just on the Malware forum and there they recommended that I run a program called A-Squared Free.
    When I ran it, it detected some possibly problematic files, which it labelled as low risk.
    First of all, I'm not sure if I am supposed to quarantine these files or not.
    What are the guidelines for when to do so?
    Secondly, if I do quarantine them, what needs to be done to them afterwards? Is there a thread that explains exactly how to use this software?
    Thanks.

    Yeah you can go ahead and quarantine them. This gives you the opportunity of reinstating them later if anything adverse happens due to their being quarantined, whereas if you outright remove them, you no longer have that option.

    You can delete quarantine files/logs when you are certain your PC still operates normally without those items that were quarantined.
