The full virus scan that runs during a Tune-up will scan the email store (a .pst
file for Outlook) and pretty much everything on the system. If, while scanning
the mail store, it finds an infected message or, more typically, an infected
attachment to a message, it will report "Quarantine Failed" as it cannot
automatically clean the infection from within the email store. It will make a
note of this and will block it if you attempted to execute the infection by
opening the message and/or executing the attachment.
