When McAfee detects potentially unwanted programs during a scan, it asks you review the results to decide which programs should be quarantined, and which should be trusted.
In the list of potentially unwanted programs, you can open details on each item to see the name of the file, its location on your PC, and the threats it contains.
You can quarantine all potentially unwanted programs at once if you know that the items on the list are unwanted, or you can quarantine programs individually. If you recognize all of the programs as safe, you can trust them all together. When McAfee quarantines items, it encrypts and isolates them in a folder to prevent the files, programs, or cookies from harming your PC. To learn about quarantined and trusted items, read Managing quarantined and trusted items.
