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.
In addition, Bitdefender scans the quarantined files each time the threat
information database is updated. Cleaned files are automatically moved
back to their original location.
To check and manage quarantined files:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the
Bitdefender interface.
2. In the ANTIVIRUS pane, click Open.
3. Go to the Settings window.
Here you can view the name of the quarantined files, their original location
and the name of the detected threats.
4. Quarantined files are managed automatically by Bitdefender according
to the default quarantine settings.
Though not recommended, you can adjust the quarantine settings
according to your preferences by clicking View Settings.
