Managing quarantined items
Once items are quarantined, you can view and manage them by selecting the Manage Quarantine link from the Home panel. (If the Quarantine is empty, this link does not appear.)
You have the following options for managing items detected during a sweep:
Keeping quarantined items (recommended). This is the safest action for found items, since it allows you to test your computer without the item in its original location and determine if all your programs still work properly after it’s moved. However, if the Quarantine area gets too full, the Webroot software alerts you and you must remove some items.
Deleting quarantined items permanently. You can permanently delete an item if you’re sure it’s unwanted spyware or another type of threat.
Restoring quarantined items. If you discover that some of your legitimate programs won’t work properly when an item was placed in Quarantine, you can restore that item from Quarantine to its original location on the computer.
