Quarantining infected systems is essential as it isolates the threat from further affecting the network or other systems. This step helps in preventing the malware from spreading and allows for a safer removal process.
In contrast, simply disabling antivirus protection might expose the system to further infections, while restoring from backup might not address the current active threats. Running a standard scan may miss some persistent malware that requires more comprehensive removal methods.
