Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Workstation
Figure 64. The
Quarantine
category
Files in quarantine are stored in encoded form. This:
•
reduces the risk of infection from this virus (the executable code cannot
be started without preliminary decryption);
•
saves time for your anti-virus programs (files in the quarantined form are
not detected as infected).
In the future you can study the quarantined files, restore them from the
quarantine or delete them.
To quarantine the files locally, i.e. on your computer
(local quarantine)
, select the
Quarantine files locally
option button in the settings tree. For details of how to
handle quarantined files refer to the next chapter.
