Is it better to quarantine or delete an infected file?

Q: My anti-spyware just found 3 high risk trojans. I've got the choice between put it in quarantine and deleting it. Which should I choose, and why putting it in quarantine would be better or worse than deleting it and vice versa...

A: you should leave it in quarantine until your sure you don't need it. sometimes anti-virus programs pick up files that are actually part of a legitimate program and they think that they are viruses or trojans. if its in quarantine it won't hurt anything.
