User`s guide

You can choose an overall action to be taken for all issues or you can select separate
actions for each group of issues. One or several of the following options can appear
on the menu:
Take proper actions
Bitdefender will take the recommended actions depending on the type of
detected file:
● Infected files. Files detected as infected match a malware signature in the
Bitdefender Malware Signature Database. Bitdefender will automatically
attempt to remove the malware code from the infected file and reconstruct
the original file. This operation is referred to as disinfection.
Files that cannot be disinfected are moved to quarantine in order to contain
the infection. Quarantined files cannot be executed or opened; therefore, the
risk of getting infected disappears. For more information, please refer to
“Managing quarantined files” (p. 77).
Important
For particular types of malware, disinfection is not possible because the
detected file is entirely malicious. In such cases, the infected file is deleted
from the disk.
● Suspicious files. Files are detected as suspicious by the heuristic analysis.
Suspicious files cannot be disinfected, because no disinfection routine is
available. They will be moved to quarantine to prevent a potential infection.
By default, quarantined files are automatically sent to Bitdefender Labs in
order to be analyzed by the Bitdefender malware researchers. If malware
presence is confirmed, a signature is released to allow removing the malware.
● Archives containing infected files.
▶ Archives that contain only infected files are deleted automatically.
▶ If an archive contains both infected and clean files, Bitdefender will attempt
to delete the infected files provided it can reconstruct the archive with the
clean files. If archive reconstruction is not possible, you will be informed
that no action can be taken so as to avoid losing clean files.
Delete
Removes detected files from the disk.
If infected files are stored in an archive together with clean files, Bitdefender
will attempt to delete the infected files and reconstruct the archive with the
clean files. If archive reconstruction is not possible, you will be informed that
no action can be taken so as to avoid losing clean files.
