    Simple ho-hum question here.

    In the past it has been recommended to me to delete items after they have been quarantined. If I recall, it was Ad-Aware that suggested this. It was 1,000,000 years ago.

    Does anyone want to suggest whether or not to do this with Super Anti Spyware...? I did see the post saying it was best to quarantine, but I wonder why it's better than deleting. Gone is gone...?

    :cool

    Nothing is 100% accurate all of the time. SAS has been known to flag legit files as malware. This is not something that happens frequently with SAS or Malware Bytes, though.

    Once you know everything is running okay after a reboot, or you have left things in quarantine for a couple weeks and all is well, it would not hurt to empty the quarantine then. :)

    Excellent advice. I had no idea this may happen - however infrequent.

    Aces.
