The Quarantine component of Dr.Web serves for isolation of files that are suspected to be malicious. Quarantine also stores backup copies of files processed by Dr.Web.
Folders of Quarantine are created separately on each logical drive where suspicious files are found, that is, if a suspicious object is detected at a portable data carrier accessible for writing, the Quarantine folder is also created on the data carrier. Infected objects are moved to appropriate folders and then the quarantined files located on hard drives are encrypted. The use of separate folders and omission of encryption on portable data carriers prevents possible data loss.
