Hi Roy, I must be missing something. When I look at the MAC profiles

On the other hand in the XP case the .quad files are a lot more 
opaque or so its seems to me.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
