To move objects into the quarantine manager, select the relevant option for quarantine in the AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic configuration under Scanner - Scan :: Action for malware :: Handling when malware is detected if you are working in automatic mode. Alternatively, you can select the relevant option for quarantine in the interactive mode.
