If I were to click on the remove button does it simply remove them from the quarrantine or permantley delete the file? Im doubting that its the former as that would be a bit pointless but I thought maybe it was a safeguard against false positives, etc. Maybe the paranoia is just setting in but if someone could put my mind at ease. I dont want to be unwillingly releasing these horrors back onto my machine  Thank you. -------------------- Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia.

Files are quarantined in such a manner that they present no harm to your computer, but so that (say if they are "false-positives) they can be recovered if they are needed.
There are two options available in Managing Quarantined Items: Restore a file to your hard drive in its original state. Remove a file completely from your hard drive (i.e., "delete" it). Best practices suggest that you leave newly found malware files in quarantine for a time, rather than immediately delete them.

Should you want to delete these items eventually....
Open SAS(right click the icon in system tray or from the Programs list). Select Scan option click Manage Quaratine Highlight an item to delete select Remove click Close than Close again. -------------------- Can you spare some PC cycles to help FIND A CURE .. BC FOLDING TEAM Click me /info..

Yeah. These files have been in there for a looong time. I thought they were deleted after you scanned the computer but it just moves them to quarrantine. So these files arent needed so they can be deleted. Thanks for clearing things up for me I just had it muddled in my head and needed someone to spelll it our for me (its been a long day at work ok!
