The infected attachments and spam messages can be moved to Dr.Web quarantine, where the malicious objects are isolated from the rest of the system. On the threat detection in traffic transferred via FTP and HTTP protocols, the infected file is moved to quarantine. If a threat is detected in email transferred via SMTP and POP3 protocols or if it contains spam, the initial email is moved to quarantine (in .msg format) as it came to the sever. The quarantined objects are located in Dr.Web Quarantine folders in the root directories on the local disk and remain on the disk after Dr.Web for Qbik WinGate is uninstalled. However, the access to these folders is denied. If necessary, you can remove the folders by setting your Windows account as root user (in case NTFS is used). Enable Quarantine You can enable Dr.Web quarantine as well as the in-built WinGate quarantine by selecting the corresponding options on the Quarantine section (see Figure 6). Figure 6.
