Managing and Restoring Quarantined Files

In the process of malware removal, some files may be vital to your operating system yet flagged as suspicious. Loaris Trojan Remover provides a secure quarantine environment to isolate these items without permanently deleting them, ensuring your system remains stable while neutralizing potential threats.

How Does the Security Quarantine Work?

The quarantine acts as a middle ground between immediate removal and leaving a threat active. When a file is moved to quarantine, it is encrypted and relocated to a hidden, secure directory where it can no longer execute or spread. This process effectively neutralizes the threat while preserving the file in case a recovery is needed.

Overview of the Loaris Trojan Remover Quarantine interface
The Quarantine tab provides a clear overview of all isolated files and their original locations.

Using the quarantine is a best practice when dealing with files that might be necessary for specific applications. If you discover that a legitimate program stops working after a scan, you can use the quarantine manager to restore the affected file instantly. However, if you are confident that a detected item is malicious, you have the option to delete it permanently from the system.

Managing Your Isolated Files

Loaris Trojan Remover makes it easy to review and manage your quarantined items. From the specialized Quarantine tab, you can perform several key actions to maintain your digital safety:

  • Restore: Returns the file to its original location and restores its functionality. Use this only if you are certain the file is a false positive.
  • Delete: Permanently erases the file from your computer. This action cannot be undone.
  • Auto-Cleanup: Configure Loaris to automatically empty the quarantine after a set period, such as 30 days, to save disk space.
