15.4. Quarantine Area

BitDefender allows isolating the infected or suspicious files in a secure area, named

quarantine. By isolating these files in the quarantine, the risk of getting infected

disappears and, at the same time, you have the possibility to send these files for

further analysis to the BitDefender lab.

Note

When a virus is in quarantine it cannot do any harm because it cannot be executed

or read.

In addition, BitDefender scans the quarantined files after each malware signature

update. Cleaned files are automatically moved back to their original location.

To see and manage quarantined files and to configure the quarantine settings:

1. Open BitDefender.

2. Depending on the user interface view mode, proceed as follows:

Intermediate View

Go to the Security tab and click Configure Antivirus in the Quick Tasks

area on the left side of the window.

Go to the Quarantine tab.

Expert View

Go to Antivirus > Quarantine.

Note

In Basic View and Intermediate View, you can configure a shortcut so that you can

access these settings from your dashboard. For more information, please refer to

“My Tools” (p. 33).

Managing Quarantined Files

You can send any selected file from the quarantine to the BitDefender Lab by clicking

Send. By default, BitDefender will automatically submit quarantined files every 60

minutes.

To delete a quarantined file, select it and click the Delete button.
