After the antivirus identifies the virus or malware in your PC, the next thing is to flag it and use different measures or solutions to protect your computer. There are different ways in which the software can provide computer software protection. For one, the software would quarantine it so that it does not affect any other files or programs on the PC. After separating the malware from other files and programs, it would examine it properly so that it can be completely removed. It would also mark it for deletion to remove the risk from your device and make it inaccessible.
