BUG! Windows defender finds already quarantined items!

I just did a full system scan, and defender showed a ton of new viruses and
trojans. I JUST found the logs, only to see that defender scanned already
quarantined files by Norton AV.
I find this very weird as these files should be non active files!

I would definitely call this a bug!

I think this is a beta issue--antivirus vendors may well do the reverse,
although I think Windows Defender's quarantine is encrypted--not sure.

It will also flag stuff in System restore, etc.

Thanks for the report--and sorry for the alarm--I suspect this is known to
the developers.
