4.1.6. Managing quarantined files
Bitdefender isolates the threat-infected files it cannot disinfect and the
suspicious files in a secure area named quarantine. When a threat is in
quarantine it cannot do any harm because it cannot be executed or read.
By default, quarantined files are automatically sent to Bitdefender Labs to
be analyzed by the Bitdefender threat researchers. If a threat presence is
confirmed, an information update is released to allow removing the threat.
