Scan Question

[mlajoie]

we have our OAS set to clean or delete a malicious file when the scanner finds it.  If it cleans, that's great.  If it deletes the file, it deletes it from the system but it is still recoverable via the quarantine folder.  I assume this is by design?  Please advise.  Thanks.

Hi ,

Thank you for reaching us on the community portal.

Yes you are correct, if delete action is taken on a file it would still be available in the Quarantine Directory for 30 days and recoverable.

Hope this helps.

Hi @mlajoie 

Thanks for reaching out to McAfee Community. 

Quarantine folder records the deleted files as designed. 

If deleted falsely, you can restore from Quarantine and provide to our labs for suppression.
