Restoring Quarantined Files

You can return quarantined files to their original locations on your computer. If you are certain that a file does not pose a threat, and you need that file, restore it. However, if you are not sure if the file is a threat, or the file is unnecessary, leave it in Quarantine Manager or delete the file. For more information about deleting files, see Deleting Quarantined Files.

Restoring a file automatically adds it to the Allowed List. The file will never be quarantined again. For more information, see Managing the Allowed List.
