Quarantine

This settings category allows you to view the Spyware Doctor Quarantine List and restore or remove infections, which Spyware Doctor detected during its scan and quarantined.

Once infections are quarantined, they can no longer affect your system. However, Spyware Doctor provides the option to restore these quarantined infections back onto your system. Note: For safety reasons and to conserve storage space, it is recommended that quarantined infections are eventually removed from the Quarantine List.

To view items in the Quarantine List, click Settings -> Quarantine. The Quarantine Files list displays on the right of Spyware Doctor's screen, listing all available quarantine files. On this screen, you can perform the following actions:

On the Quarantine Files list:

To delete one or more entire quarantined files, highlight the required files and:

right-click a highlighted file and select Delete Selected Files/Remove Selected, or

select a highlighted file and press the Delete key.

To restore one or more entire quarantined files, highlight the required files and:

click the Restore button, or

right-click a selected item and choose Restore Selected.

To access the contents of a quarantine file:

double-click the item in the list, or

select the item and click the Details... button, or

right-click the item and select Open Quarantine File.

On the resulting Quarantined Items list:

To restore individual Items, select the check boxes next to the items to be restored and either click the Restore button or right-click any item and choose Restore Checked. Note: By default, the check boxes of all items in this list are selected. The check boxes of multiple items can also selected and cleared by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate menu options.

To go back to the Quarantine File list, click on the Back button.

Please note: It may not be possible to restore all items back onto your system. If you wish to retain full functionality of specific malware on your computer, it is recommended that you retain the installation files for this software.
