Quarantine Potential Threats In-Place

MetaDefender Drive now can quarantine detected files in place during scans, keeping them on the source volume and reversible when needed.

Each quarantined file is:

  • Moved to \OPSWAT_Quarantine\ on the same source volume as the original file.

  • Stored as a ZipCrypto-encrypted ZIP.

  • Accompanied by a plain-text Quarantine Record that identifies the original file.

  • Ready to be restored from the host Windows or from Bare Metal and In-Session Restore Quarantined Threats

  • Synced and viewable from Central Management if MetaDefender Drive is enrolled.


  • And quarantined files will also be collected in Forensic Collection


Please follow these instructions to proceed and make use of Quarantine and Restore Quarantined Files features.
