Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 for Windows

Managing Quarantine

July 20, 2023

ID 214779

The Quarantine is a special local storage on the computer where files that are infected by viruses or non-disinfectable files are moved to. Quarantined files are stored in an encrypted state and do not threaten the security of the device. Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses Quarantine only when working with Kaspersky Sandbox and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response solutions. In other cases Kaspersky Endpoint Security places the relevant file in Backup. For details on managing Quarantine as part of solutions, please refer to the Kaspersky Sandbox Help, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum Help, and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert Help.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the system account (SYSTEM) to quarantine files.

Quarantine can only be configured using Web Console. You can also use Web Console to manage quarantined objects (restore, delete, add, etc). Locally, on the computer, you can only restore the object using the command line.
