Quarantine Manager

This window contains information on the Quarantine component of Dr.Web which serves for isolation of files that are suspected to be malicious. Quarantine also stores backup copies of files processed by Dr.Web.

Use the Quarantine Manager settings to select the isolation mode for infected objects detected on portable data carriers. When this option is enabled, detected threats are moved to the folder on this data carrier without being encrypted. The Quarantine folder is created only when the data carrier is accessible for writing. The use of separate folders and omission of encryption on portable data carriers prevents possible data loss.

The central table lists the following information on quarantined objects:

Object – name of the quarantined object

Threat – malware class of the object, which is assigned by Dr.Web when the object is quarantined

Date added – the date and time when the object was moved to Quarantine

Path – full path to the object before it was quarantined

 

Note

Quarantine displays objects which can be accessed by your user account. To view hidden objects, you need to have administrator privileges.

 

In the objects context menu, the following buttons are available:

Restore – move file to the selected folder and specify a new file name;

 

Note

Use this option only when you are sure that the selected objects are not harmful.

 

 

Delete – delete file from the quarantine and from the system.

To delete all objects from quarantine, click and select Delete all in the drop-down menu.
