from the infected file and reconstruct the original file. This operation
is referred to as disinfection.
Files that cannot be disinfected are moved to quarantine to contain
the infection. Quarantined files cannot be executed or opened;
therefore, the risk of getting infected disappears. For more information,
refer to “Managing quarantined files” (p. 98).
Important
For particular types of threats, disinfection is not possible because the
detected file is entirely malicious. In such cases, the infected file is
deleted from the disk.
● Suspicious files. Files are detected as suspicious by the heuristic
analysis. Suspicious files cannot be disinfected, because no
disinfection routine is available. They will be moved to quarantine to
prevent a potential infection.
By default, quarantined files are automatically sent to Bitdefender
Labs to be analyzed by the Bitdefender threat researchers. If a threat
presence is confirmed, a threat information update is released to allow
removing the threat.
● Archives containing infected files.
● Archives that contain only infected files are deleted automatically.
● If an archive contains both infected and clean files, Bitdefender will
attempt to delete the infected files provided it can reconstruct the
archive with the clean files. If archive reconstruction is not possible,
you will be informed that no action can be taken so as to avoid losing
clean files.
Move to quarantine
Moves detected files to quarantine. Quarantined files cannot be executed
or opened; therefore, the risk of getting infected disappears. For more
information, refer to “Managing quarantined files” (p. 98).
Deny access
In case an infected file is detected, the access to this will be denied.
