Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restarting the computer after quarantining the virus will allow you to see if everything is functioning normally. If it is, then you can manually delete the quarantined files. This is the best option as reinstalling all applications (B) may not be necessary and restoring the computer to a previous time and encrypting the drive volume (D) may be time-consuming and drastic measures for this particular situation. Turning off the computer (A) without taking any action will not resolve the issue.
