View Threats

The View Threats page lists files that have been placed in quarantine due to a suspicious or confirmed threat. The page provides you with four actions:

  • Restore As Is - Restore the file from quarantine and make no changes to it.
  • Attempt to Clean & Restore - Attempt to remove the malware infecting the file, then restore the file.
  • Delete - Delete the file.
  • Cancel Pending Operation - Cancel any of the other actions, if they have not yet been completed.

Attempting to Clean & Restore and Delete may take some time. Restore As Is is relatively quick. All three actions, if successful, removes the threat from this list.

Note: If both cleaning and deletion fail, it may mean the file is open. Kill any processes keeping the file open and try to delete the file again.
