Bitdefender is designed to protect your computer by managing malicious files through a series of steps. Here's a simple breakdown:

• Disinfection First: When Bitdefender detects an infected file, it attempts to remove the malicious code and restore the file to its original state, especially for files like documents with viruses.
• Quarantine for Safety: If disinfection isn't possible, the file is moved to a quarantine area. Here, the file's extension is altered to prevent it from running, ensuring it can't harm your PC.
• Deletion for Malicious Files: For files that are entirely malicious and can't be cleaned, such as certain malware executables, Bitdefender deletes them to protect your system.
• User Choice When Needed: In cases where automatic actions can't be completed, Bitdefender shows a dialog box, allowing you to choose actions like disinfecting, deleting, or moving the file to quarantine.

In the worst-case scenario, if none of the above-mentioned functions resolve the issue, the only remaining option would be to use the Bitdefender Rescue Environment. More information related to the Bitdefender Rescue Environment can be found in the link provided below.
