viruses that have been cleaned or quarantined

[Chelsie Power <cpower () CSUSM EDU>]

Hi everyone.


If your virus scanner has cleaned or quarantined a virus/malware/etc., do you do any additional scanning or followup on 
the endpoint? I know virus definitions, though up to date, may potentially just be catching a virus that have lived on 
the machine for several months and had only been recently identified. Do you trust that "cleaned" means it took care of 
any damage that had been done, if any?


Thank you for your input,
