Configuring Quarantine

Turn On Quarantine

When Turn On Quarantine is checked, one of four things will happen to an email.

  • If the email has an attachment that could be executed on Windows, then the program will rename the attachment. This email will arrive at its regular destination.

  • If the name of an attachment matches the name of a very well known virus in the virus database, then the attachment will be renamed and the email will be placed in the Emails with known issues file.

  • The Blocked extensions feature explained below will be activated.

  • If the email does not match any of the conditions above, then the email will remain unchanged and will arrive at its regular destination.

Note: After reviewing the attachment and deeming it safe, you may rename the file to it's former name to run it.

To change a setting:

Check or uncheck the accompanying box, and then click Save Settings.
