Quarantine Manager

Quarantine Manager is an instrument that allows you to manage isolated files. The quarantine contains backup copies of objects created before they are deleted by Dr.Web. The quarantine stores malicious programs that are identified by Dr.Web Process Heuristic as programs that modify user files (for example, encryption ransomware), and programs that inject their code into the processes of other applications.
