Any type of reproduction and distribution of any materials, including translation thereof, is allowed only by a written permission of Kaspersky Lab.

[. . . ] A potentially infected object can be detected and quarantined in the course of Virus Scan (see section "Scanning for viruses" on page 43), or by File Anti-Virus (see section "Anti-virus protection of your computer's file system" on page 30). You can quarantine an object by yourself by clicking the Quarantine button in the special notification window (see section "Notifications" on page 87) that pops up when a potentially infected object is detected. When you move an object to quarantine, it is moved, not copied: the object is deleted from its original location on a disk and saved in the quarantine folder. Files in quarantine are stored in a special format and are not dangerous.

Open the main application window (on page 13) and click the button. In the left part of the window that opens, select Quarantine (see figure below). Content of the storage will be displayed in the right-hand part of the window. You can perform the following actions on objects in quarantine: Quarantine files that you suspect of being infected but not detected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. To do this, click the Add button and select the required file in the standard selection window. It will be added to the list with the added by user status. 75 KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS A file moved to quarantine manually may change its status if it had been scanned using the updated databases not earlier than three days after it was scanned for the first time after being placed in quarantine. Later, the file will be restored if it is assigned the false positive status, or removed with a copy placed in the backup if it is considered infected. Figure 48: Quarantine storage Scan and disinfect all potentially infected objects in quarantine using the current Kaspersky Anti-Virus databases. After scanning and disinfecting any quarantined object, its status can change to infected, potentially infected, false operation, OK, etc. Quarantined objects' status only can change if they are scanned using the databases released not more than three days after the file has been quarantined. The infected status means that the object has been identified as infected but the application did not manage to treat it. The application will remove such an object from quarantine, saving a copy of it in the backup storage (see section "Backup" on page 78). All the objects with the false positive status will be restored to their original locations. Restore files in the folder specified by the user, or in the folders from which the files were moved to quarantine (default option). To restore an object, select it from the list and click the Restore button. When restoring objects quarantined from archives, mail databases, and mail format files, you should also specify the directory in which they will be restored. We recommend that you only restore objects with the false operation, OK, and disinfected statuses since restoring other objects may infect your computer! Delete any quarantined object or group of selected objects. In order to delete objects, select them in the list and click the Delete button. To clear the quarantine storage completely, click the Clear all button. 76 QUARANTINE CONFIGURING QUARANTINE SETTINGS You can configure the settings for the composition and operation of quarantine, specifically: Set the automatic scan mode for quarantined objects after each application database update (see section "Actions after update" on page 68). Kaspersky Anti-Virus will not be able to scan quarantined objects immediately after updating the databases if you are working with quarantine.
