View and Manage Quarantined Threats


      Click 'Security' >  'Quarantined Threats'
          • Quarantine is a secure holding area for potentially dangerous files. Quarantined files pose no threat to your system.
          • You can delete or restore quarantined items, or assign a file rating to them.
          • File ratings determine how CCS handles the file:
          • Files rated as 'Malicious' will stay in quarantine on the device.
          • Files rated as 'Unrecognized' will be restored to their original location on the device. Future virus scans may flag them as malicious again.
          • Files rated as 'Trusted' will be restored to their original locations on the device. These files are skipped in future virus scans.

            How do threats get quarantined?


            Windows Devices


            Real time scans - Threats are placed in quarantine if:

            • 'Show antivirus alerts' is disabled and 'Quarantine Threats' is set as the default action in the profile on the device. This setting is in the 'Realtime Scan Settings' area of the profile's antivirus section.
            • 'Show antivirus alerts' is enabled and the end-user quarantined the threat at an alert.
            • See Realtime Scan settings if you want to read more about the antivirus section of a profile.

            On-demand / Scheduled scans - Threats are placed in quarantine if:

            • 'Automatically clean threats' is enabled and 'Quarantine' is set as the action in the profile on the device.
            • See Custom Scans in Antivirus Settings if you need more help with this.

            DLP Scans

            • Documents quarantined by a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) scan are NOT shown in this interface. They are placed in a different quarantine area.
            • You can view DLP quarantined files at ‘Security Sub-Systems‘ > ‘Data Loss Prevention’ > ‘Logs’
            • You cannot restore DLP quarantined files remotely using Endpoint Manager. You can only restore them through Comodo Client Security on the endpoint.
              Manual quarantine:
              • Admins can move threats to quarantine from the 'Current Malware List' interface.
              • End-users can move files to quarantine on their endpoint.
              • See View and Manage Identified Malware for more details.

              MAC OS Devices


              Real time scans - Threats are placed in quarantine if:

              • 'Automatically quarantine threats found during scanning' is enabled is enabled in the profile on the device. This setting is in the 'Realtime Scan Settings' area of the profile's antivirus section.
              • The end-user chooses to quarantine the threat at an alert
              • See the explanation of Realtime Scanner settings in the section Antivirus Settings for Mac OS Profile under Create a Mac OS Profile

              On-demand / Scheduled scans - Threats are quarantined if:

              • 'Automatically quarantine threats found during scanning' is enabled in the profile on the device
              • See Manual Scanner settings and Scheduled Scanner settings for more help on this

              Manual quarantine:

              • An administrator moved a threat to quarantine from the 'Current Malware List' interface
              • An end-user moved a file to quarantine on the endpoint
              • See View and Manage Identified Malware for more details.

              Linux  Devices


              Real time scans - Threats are quarantined if:

              • 'Automatically quarantine threats found during scanning' is enabled in the profile on the device. This setting is in the 'Realtime Scan Settings' area of the profile's antivirus section.
              • The end-user chooses to quarantine the threat at an alert
              • See Realtime Scanner settings for more help with this.

              On-demand / Scheduled scans - Threats will be placed in quarantine if:

              • 'Automatically quarantine threats found during scanning' is enabled in the profile on the device
              • See the explanations of Realtime Scanner settings and Scheduled Scanner settings to view help on these settings

              Manual quarantine:

              • An administrator moved a threat to quarantine from the 'Current Malware List' interface
              • An end-user moved a file to quarantine on the endpoint
              • See View and Manage Identified Malware for more details.

              Items moved to quarantine are encrypted and not allowed to run.

              • See the following sections for more details


              Manage Quarantine Items
              • If your review confirms that a quarantined item is a genuine threat then it can be deleted from endpoints.
              • Conversely, if an item is is found to be a false positive, you can restore it to its original location.
              • You can also rate a file as unrecognized, trusted or malicious based on your assessment. The new verdict will be sent to all endpoints and will be reflected in the 'Unrecognized' and 'Trusted' interfaces.

              Restore False Positives from Quarantine
              • If the identified item is a false positive, select the item from the list and click 'Restore File(s) on Devices' from the options at the top.
