Quarantine allows you to isolate detected malicious or suspicious objects that cannot be cured from the rest of the system in case you need them. Curing algorithms are being constantly improved, therefore these objects may become curable after one of the updates.

Due to the privacy reasons, the quarantine folder is created for each user in the system. Therefore, if you switched to the administrator mode, the detected threats which are moved to the administrator Quarantine and will not be available in the user Quarantine folders. |
You can view and manage the contents of quarantine using the Quarantine tab on the Threats section of the main window (see illustration below). In the status bar in the bottom of the window the total number and size of the threats and also the number and size of the selected threats are displayed.
