The central table lists the following information on quarantined objects:

Objects—name of the quarantined object.

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

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

Path—full path to the object before it was quarantined.

Note

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

By default, backup copies stored in quarantine are not displayed. To view them, click More and select Show backup copies from the drop-down list.

Managing quarantined objects

In administrator mode, the following buttons are available:

The Restore (Restore) button—move one or several objects to the selected folder.

Note

Use this action only if you are sure that the object is safe.

 

Objects added to quarantine after they are installed from the Microsoft Store cannot be restored because they are located in folders protected by the system. If you try to launch a quarantined application, it will be reinstalled.

The Rescan (Rescan) button—scan the file in quarantine again.

The Delete (Delete) button—delete one or several objects both from quarantine and the system.

You can also access these settings by right-clicking the selected object or several selected objects.

To delete all objects from quarantine at once, click More and select Delete all in the drop-down list.

You can view detailed information on a quarantined object. For that, select the necessary line and click Details.
