7. Quarantine
The Quarantine is a safe storage for virus infected or suspicious files that have been removed by AVG
AntiVirus. All files are locked, encrypted and cannot do your Mac any harm. The main purpose of this special
storage is to keep any deleted file for a certain period of time, so that you can make sure you do not need the
file any more.
Each line represents one quarantined item and information about it (threat name, full path to the original
location of the file, date of detection). By clicking the little arrow next to an item, you can expand it to view
more details.
To resolve an item, you need to select it in the list (mark its checkbox) first. You can select more than one file,
and you can use Select all threats to start with. The following actions are then available:
Restore will move the file from Quarantine to any available location on your Mac. You will be able to
either put the file back to the folder where it was previously detected, or browse for another folder
manually.
Delete will remove the file completely and irreversibly from your Mac.
