Quarantine

The Virus & Spyware Protection application will try to clean infected

files before they are deleted and/or quarantined (depending on your

configuration). Quarantined files are either infected or have been

blocked by the Internet Protection feature. When you select Virus &

Spyware Protection | Quarantine, you can view all quarantined files:

Note: A copy of a deleted or blocked file is quarantined by default.

Infected files that have been quarantined appear in this list, provided

that you have configured the program to do so.

When the On-access scanner detects that c:\eicar.com is infected,

it is moved to quarantine. However, if the On-access scanner detects

c:\copy of eicar.com and this file is identical to eicar.com,

copy of eicar.com is not quarantined, but deleted. If copy of

eicar.com resides on c:\another folder\ it is, however,

moved to quarantine because of the new location. This method is

implemented to avoid that the quarantine is crammed in a situation

where a virus has written several copies of the same file to the same

area of the disk drive.
