Quarantine is a service database (Quarantine.nsf) that is used to isolate infected and suspicious objects. Monitor and Scanner place such objects in the database in the form of documents when the Quarantine attachment action is applied to them.
The Quarantine frame contains the list of objects in quarantine and a number of settings for configuring this list and managing documents in the Quarantine.nsf database. To sort the list according to certain criteria, click the headings of the corresponding columns.
