Quarantine

You come up to the quarantine directly with the menu item in the Security Center. Instead of deleting a detected file finally, it is recommended to put it into quarantine for a while. In some cases, the system could crash or become unstable by deleting files. Then you can restore a file in an emergency case. Malware in quarantine is not dangerous. The files will be stored in crypted form at the "Quarantine" folder of a-squared.
