To quarantine something is to set it aside in a secured place, temporarily or permanently, in order to prevent its action or influence affecting anyone or anything else.
The common application is to medical treatment. A quarantine may be used to isolate a patient suffering from a highly infectious disease, so that other people do not contract the disease. Computer viruses and trojans can also be quarantined to prevent them infecting or attacking a computer.
