"Take Proper Actions" in Bitdefender means that the software will automatically decide the best course of action when it detects a threat. This could include quarantining the file, deleting it, or blocking access, depending on the nature of the threat.

Take proper action
Bitdefender will take the recommended actions depending on the type of detected file:

• Infected files. Files detected as infected match a piece of threat information found in the Bitdefender Threat Information Database. Bitdefender will automatically attempt to remove the malicious code from the infected file and reconstruct the original file. Files that cannot be disinfected are move to quarantine. (For particular types of threats, disinfection is not possible because the detected file is entirely malicious. In such cases, the infected file is remove from the disk.)
• Suspicious files. Files are detected as suspicious by the heuristic analysis. Suspicious files cannot be disinfected, because no disinfection routine is available. They will be moved to quarantine to prevent a potential infection.
• Archives containing infected files. Archives that contain only infected files are deleted automatically. If an archive contains both infected and clean files, Bitdefender will attempt to delete the infected files provided it can reconstruct the archive with the clean files. If archive reconstruction is not possible, you will be informed that no action can be taken so as to avoid losing clean files.

It will attempt to perform actions described in the virus definitions database.
This action will be “disinfect” for file infectors, which are not common nowadays.
Where nothing has been described in definitions, Bitdefender will quarantine.
