Are Quarantined Viruses safe?

[Evil_T0NY {CLR}]

Apparently, some virus or spyware scanners quarantine viruses...but it's up to YOU on wether you want to delete them or not.

CAN you leave that stuff quarantined indefinitely?

[Qicmee]

When a virus is quarantined, it's put away where it won't ever do any damage. It is nonfunctional unless the user intentionally does something unusual.

Why isn't a virus immediately deleted? Sometimes the antivirus software makes a mistake. So, it lets the human make the final "delete decision".
