Quarantine

The infected attachments can be moved to Quarantine, where the malicious objects are isolated from the rest of the system.

By default, the quarantine is enabled. To disable it, set the value 0 for the Quarantine: Enabled anti-virus parameter. In case quarantine is disabled, the infected objects will be deleted.Managing Quarantine

The quarantined files can be reviewed and processed using the special utility Dr.Web Quarantine. To launch the utility, select Start -> Programs -> Dr.Web for Kerio Mail Servers -> Dr.Web Quarantine. The list of objects in quarantine will be displayed (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Quarantine

For each object in the list the information on the infected file name and size, the name of the virus and the path to the storage folder is displayed. You can specify the types of the information that is displayed in the list. To do this, right-click any column in the table and select Customize columns. Then select the types of the information you want to be displayed.

You can remove the quarantined objects or restore them. To do this:

•Select one or several objects in the list.

•To delete the selected file(s) click the Delete button.

•To restore the selected file(s) select Restore -> Restore to and then specify the folder the file(s) will be restored to.

You can also scan the quarantined objects, e.g., the suspicious files, again, after updating Dr.Web virus databases. To check the files again, click the Rescan button.

The Add button is used to add files from the local or removable disk to quarantine. Then you can scan these files for viruses. Please take note that in this case the file can be restored to the initial folder only using the Restore button.
