Add an item to Quarantine

Security History Quarantine provides a safe location on your computer in which you can isolate items while you decide on an action to take on each item.

The Quarantine view in the Security History window displays a list of quarantined items. You can view the name and the risk status of each quarantined item.

You can manually add an item to the Security History Quarantine. You can use the Add to Quarantine option in the Quarantine view in the Security History window to quarantine the items that you suspect are infected. This action has no effect on the items that are already quarantined.
