Hello Jacko2,

If malware is quarantined within a program, I would delete those files before uninstalling the antimalware program. That should take care of the malware.

I think quarantine works like a recycle bin and if I remember right that on some machines where I have uninstalled the AV/AS it may ask at uninstall what to do with any quarantined items.
