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.
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
- 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.
