    Quarantine

    The quarantine feature in Secura Web Total Security Antivirus is a crucial
    component designed to enhance the security of users' systems by isolating potentially harmful
    files and programs. When the antivirus software detects a suspicious file or application during a
    scan or real-time protection, it doesn't immediately delete or allow it to run freely. Instead, it
    places it in quarantine for further analysis and action.
    Here's a detailed explanation of how the quarantine feature works and its key aspects:

    Detection of Suspicious Files: The antivirus software continuously monitors the system for any
    signs of malware, viruses, trojans, or other malicious software. When it encounters a file or
    program exhibiting suspicious behavior or containing known malware signatures, it flags it for
    quarantine.
    2. Isolation: Once flagged, the suspicious file is isolated from the rest of the system. This isolation
    prevents the file from executing or interacting with other files and processes on the system,
    thereby preventing potential harm to the user's data and system integrity.
    3. User Notification: Upon detecting and quarantining a suspicious file, the antivirus software
    notifies the user about the action taken. This notification typically includes details about the
    detected threat, such as the name of the file, its location, and the type of threat it poses.
    4. Options for Action: Users are provided with options regarding what to do with the quarantined
    file. Common options include:

    • Delete: Permanently remove the file from the system.
    • Restore: Restore the file from quarantine if it's determined to be a false positive or if the
      user wants to use it for some reason.
    • Submit for Analysis: Users can choose to submit the quarantined file to the antivirus
      vendor for further analysis. This helps improve the antivirus software's detection
      capabilities and provides insights into emerging threats.
    • Keep in Quarantine: Keep the file in quarantine for further monitoring without taking
      immediate action.

    5. Secure Storage: Quarantined files are stored securely in an isolated location on the user's system
    or within the antivirus software's database. This prevents the quarantined files from escaping and
    causing harm, even if the main system security is compromised.
    6. Regular Updates: The quarantine feature is regularly updated with the latest threat intelligence
    to ensure that newly emerging threats are effectively detected and isolated.
    7. User Interface: The antivirus software provides a user-friendly interface for managing
    quarantined files. Users can easily view the list of quarantined items, review details about each
    item, and take appropriate actions based on their preferences and security requirements.
    Overall, the quarantine feature in Secura Web Total Security Antivirus adds an additional layer
    of protection to users' systems by effectively containing and neutralizing potential threats before
    they can cause harm. It empowers users to maintain a secure computing environment by
    providing them with control over how to handle suspicious files detected by the antivirus
    software.
