Creating a file quarantine task

If you believe that an infected or probably infected file is on the computer, you can isolate it by putting it into Quarantine.

To create a file quarantine task:

1. Select the Tasks section in the program web interface window.

   The tasks table opens.

2. Click the Add button and select Quarantine file.

   The task creation window opens.

3. Specify the following parameters:
   1. File path—Path to the file that you want to put in Quarantine.
   2. MD5/SHA256—MD5- or SHA256 hash of the file that you want to place in Quarantine. This field is optional.
   3. If you do not want to scan the file, clear the Send for scanning check box.

      The check box is selected by default.

   4. Description—Task description. This field is optional.
   5. If you want to display a task run notification to the user of the computer on which the task is running, select the Notify user about the task execution check box on the right of the Notification parameter name.
   6. Host—Names of the hosts from which you want to delete the file after putting a copy of it in Quarantine.
4. Click the Add button.

The file quarantine task will be created. As a result of the task, the file will be deleted from the selected hosts and placed in Quarantine.

If the file has been blocked by another process, the task will be displayed with the Completed status but the file will be placed in Quarantine only after the host is restarted. It is recommended to check whether the task was successfully completed after the host is restarted.
