Question by Jeanne M: What’s the difference between killing a trojan and quarantine trojan?
I have CA Security Center, and it detected a trojan. Under the log it states that iit is killed. What is the difference between Killed and quarantined? Should I quarantine the trojan?
I am also know noticing that when I go to internet or basic sites, there is a low to medium threat, though the trojan is supposedly killed. Any suggestions on that?

The same thing it means with a “real” virus….killed means it’s dead and gone. quarantined means it either couldn’t kill it, or for some reason didn’t want to (ie it thought it could be wrong, or something you need) so it removed it from the “general population” and stored it in a protected area where nothing can access it.

Killing it would be making it go away, quarantine means it couldn’t be killed/removed, so it got put in a safe, where it can do any harm.
killing means to disinfected…quarantine just puts in quarantine …iut is safe there just not off ur pc…u can delete it from there..just wait a day to make sure that it hasn’t affected ur pc by being in quarantine
If by killed, they mean deleted, then that’s a good thing - as it is then removed from the system.
If you quarantine the virus, the anti-virus program will move the virus to a secured location, and basically “trap” it there. From there, you can normally either delete or repair it.
I would recommend deleting it though.
I believe most antivirus programs just renames infected files to quarantine them?
Renames them back if you restore them?
Moves them to the trash can if you delete them ?
So always empty your trash can after scans and such?
I could be wrong at the details but I’m close (~8
killing is destoying and quarentine is just stopping it doing any more damage…. the reason you computer would quarentine it because if it kills it it could harm files on your computer….. that why trojans (along with the pople that make them) are homos
A Trojan horse, or trojan for short, is a term used to describe malware that appears, to the user, to perform a desirable function but, in fact, facilitates unauthorized access to the user’s computer system. The term comes from the Trojan Horse story in Greek mythology. Trojan horses are not self-replicating which distinguishes them from viruses and worms. Additionally, they require interaction with a hacker to fulfil their purpose. The hacker need not be the individual responsible for distributing the Trojan horse. It is possible for hackers to scan computers on a network using a port scanner in the hope of finding one with a Trojan horse installe.
