Quarantine just gets a file out of the way temporarily so you don't accidentally use it. It's still on your PC and still infected, though. All AV software works like this and if you use multiple AV products, they'll see viruses in each other's quarantine directories. To avoid the warnings, delete the files in the quarantine.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
