CompuClever Antivirus Plus isolates the malware-infected files it cannot disinfect and the suspicious files in a secure area named quarantine. When a virus is in quarantine it cannot do any harm because it cannot be executed or read.
By default, quarantined files are automatically sent to CompuClever Labs in order to be analyzed by the CompuClever malware researchers. If malware presence is confirmed, a signature is released to allow removing the malware.
In addition, CompuClever Antivirus Plus scans the quarantined files after each malware signature update. Cleaned files are automatically moved back to their original location.
To check and manage quarantined files, follow these steps:
Open the CompuClever Antivirus Plus window.
Access the Protection panel.
Click the Antivirus module.
In the Antivirus window, select the Quarantine tab.
