I use Kaspersky and it tells me all the viruses/threats detected and what not right, well, do I need to do something or does Kaspersky automatically take care of those when it does the scan every 7 days like I have it instructed to do?
Like, what exactly does quarantine do also?
Thanks everybody.


Very Important: Malware infections can possibly lead to identity theft, stolen bank funds, misuse of credit card information etc. Therefore we strongly encourage you to please read this thread before deciding what course of action to take regarding your infection.
If after reading the above you wish to clean your system, please follow the steps below.
To quarantine or not to quarantine … that is our question. Many antivirus and antispyware programs will detect and remove malicious content and then take action on it. Quarantine is one of several options available to us.
When malicious content such as a virus, process, or spyware is found, the program will take action according to instructions supplied by the user. Usually, this is an immediate warning and prompt, or it can be a selectable option that the user chooses before beginning a scan for malicious content. This would take place in a start screen or configuration setting page for the program.
Accept means the user is allowing or permitting something. While it can mean that the user is permitting an action to take place on the computer, it also can mean that the user is allowing or permitting the detected content to remain on the computer. Obviously, the user must be sure what he or she is accepting, because most scans are performed to detect and remove objects, rather than to accept them. Generally, one should avoid accepting detected content and permitting it to remain without action. This compares easily to allowing a thief’s hand to remain in your pocket.
Delete means to remove and erase a file or object from memory. Deletion is great when the file is not your own, and you have no interest in the contents or function of the file. Delete is supposed to be a permanent removal, but can also mean that your trash can – recycle bin will be filling up instead. Be sure to clear all caches to ensure a complete Delete has taken place as you intend.
Ignore means the same as accept in some cases, so think before taking this action. If the action is going to result in accepting a virus or spyware content or malicious process, then you may not wish to ignore. But, ignore may also mean that your computer is not configured to accept your command and that you may wish to proceed without an action succeeding as you intended. This can happen when you operate a computer with restricted user privileges and do not have Administrator rights, and the computer is trying to humor you by carrying out the portions of your tasks that it can successfully perform. Don’t take it personally; just coordinate with the Administrator or owner of the system and communicate to this person what you need to do.
