236 Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
A potentially infected object can be detected and placed in quarantine by File
Anti-Virus, Mail Anti-Virus, Proactive Defense or in the course of a virus scan.
You can place an object in quarantine by clicking Quarantine in the notification
that pops up when a potentially infected object is detected.
When you place an object in Quarantine, it is moved, not copied. The object is
deleted from the disk or email and is saved in the Quarantine folder. Files in
Quarantine are saved in a special format and are not dangerous.
19.1.1. Actions with quarantined objects
The total number of objects in Quarantine is displayed in the Reports and data
files section of the main window. In the right-hand part of the screen there is a
special Quarantine section that displays:
• the number of potentially infected objects detected during Kaspersky
Internet Security operation;
• the current size of Quarantine.
Here you can delete all objects in the quarantine using the Clear link.
To access objects in Quarantine:
Click Quarantine.
You can take the following actions on the Quarantine tab (see Figure 88):
• Move a file to Quarantine that you suspect is infected but the program did
not detect. To do so, click Add and select the file in the standard selection
window. It will be added to the list with the status added by user.
• Scan and disinfect all potentially infected objects in Quarantine using the
current version of application databases by clicking, click Scan all.
After scanning and disinfecting any quarantined object, its status may
change to infected, potentially infected, false positive, OK, etc.
The infected status means that the object has been identified as infected
but it could not be treated. You are advised to delete such objects.
All objects marked false positive can be restored, since their former status
as potentially infected was not confirmed by the program once scanned
again.
• Restore the files to a folder selected by the user or their original folder
prior to Quarantine (default). To restore an object, select it from the list
and click Restore. When restoring objects from archives, email
databases, and email format files placed in Quarantine, you must also
select the directory to restore them to.
