Managing Quarantined Items

The quarantine facility removes and isolates suspicious files into a safe location before analyzing them for possible infection. Any files transferred in this fashion are encrypted - meaning they cannot be run or executed. This isolation prevents infected files from affecting the rest of your PC. If a file cannot be disinfected, then it provides a reliable safe-house until the virus database is updated- neutralizing the impact of any new virus.

All the files cleaned using CCE are moved into Quarantine. You can later analyze these files and take the following measures:

• If the file could not be identified by you as safe, you can remove it from your system;

• If the file is safe and came from a trustworthy source, you can restore it to the original location.

To access the 'Quarantined Items' interface, Click 'Tools' > 'Quarantined Items'.
