In respect to infected and incurable objects, the Move action does the following: The file is moved to a special quarantine folder. Furthermore, once moved, the file loses its extension. The virus is literally disarmed and rendered non-operational and, therefore, harmless. Later, you can open the Quarantine Manager and delete the files if you do not need them.
