Quarantined Items

 

  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Quarantined Items' to open this interface
  • Comodo Antivirus virus places threats that it finds on your computer into quarantine.
  • Quarantined files are encrypted, so they cannot run or cause damage.
  • This isolation prevents infected files from affecting your computer.
The quarantine area lets you:
  • Manually add files to quarantine
  • Delete quarantined items
  • Restore quarantined items
  • Submit quarantined items to Comodo for analysis

To view Quarantined Items

  • Click the 'Antivirus' tab on the CAV home screen.
  • Click 'Quarantined Items' in the antivirus tasks screen
  • This will open a list of all items in quarantine (if any):
 


Manually add files to Quarantined Items

 
You can move a file to quarantine if you suspect it is malicious, but hasn't been detected by the AV scanner.

  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Quarantined Items'
  • Click 'Add' and select the file you want to quarantine

To delete a quarantined item

  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Quarantined Items'
  • Select the item you want to remove then click 'Delete'.

This deletes the file from your computer permanently.


To restore a quarantined item to its original location

  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Quarantined Items'
  • Select the item and click 'Restore'.

If the restored item is not malicious then it will run as normal. If it contains malware then it will be flagged as a threat and re-quarantined. You should add the file as an exception if you do not want this to happen.


To submit quarantined items to Comodo for analysis

  • Click 'Antivirus' > 'Quarantined Items'.
  • Select the desired item from the list and click 'Submit'.
  • The file will undergo behavior analysis from Comodo's automated testing systems, and by our human operatives. 
  • If it is found to be safe (a false-positive), it will be added to the white-list of safe files.
  • If it is confirmed as malicious then it will remain on the black-list of known threats.
