About managing quarantined files
You or the computer users can quarantine infected files. If a quarantined file
cannot be fixed, you or the computer users must decide what to do with the infected
file.
Suggestions for managing quarantined files are as follows:
■ Delete a quarantined file if a backup file exists or a replacement file is available
from a trustworthy source.
■ Leave the files with unknown infections in quarantine until Symantec releases
new virus definitions.
■ Monitor the quarantined files.
Periodically check the quarantined files to prevent accumulating large numbers
of files. Check the quarantined files when a new virus outbreak appears on the
network.
