Same malware detected by Win 10 Defender repeatedly & quarantined repeatedly

This situation is increasingly troubling. For about a month, Win 10 Defender has been notifying me every few days it has detected & removed malware. When I open Defender for details, it lists either Rogue:JS/TechBrolo.A or Rogue:JS/TechBrolo.E and I find it hasn't actually removed the malware, but quarantined it. I don't understand what is being done when malware is "quarantined" or why Win 10 doesn't remove it.  It is strongly recommended in Defender that I do so, but I have to check the box and click Remove. Which I do. I've also scanned offline, done quick scans and one full scan, none of which turned up anything.

Why is Win 10 quarantining but not removing it? Is there any way of indicating to Defender not to allow any file with string Rogue:JS/TechBrolo in the file name? Defender says it is a Trojan Horse type. Since it is repeatedly directed at my PC and I assume sits there until Defender finds and at least quarantines it, am I at risk between Defender scans?  Or does "Real Time" protection mean that risk doesn't exist?

I'm puzzled too at the file name. I would think malware would have innocuous sounding or highly technical seeming names. "Rogue" and "Tech" together ... might just as well name the file LethalMalware.
