Quarantine is actually a 'container' where MWB place any suspicious/false positive files from being used until the administrator/user released it. The basic understanding is something like that.

djacobson Posted September 7, 2017 ID:1161467 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Hi @Zamzamalakazam, @Porthos is correct. Items stay in quarantine until you remove them. Quarantine items are stripped of their extension and encrypted. They pose no danger to the machine or your environment. Whether the detection is deleted or quarantined is decided by our Malware Research team and written into the signature itself. We recommend leaving them there just in case of a false positive from which you may need to restore the items, but if you wish to delete the items, you may. For MBES, this needs to be done from the endpoint itself, which you can script using GPO or similar. For MBEP, it can be done via the cloud console in the Quarantine section, check the box for one or more items in quarantine and then click delete. Quarantine folder locations: MBES with Anti-Malware 1.75.0.1300 through 1.80.2.1012, quarantine is located in C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Quarantine MBEP with Malwarebytes 3.1.8 is located in C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\Quarantine Edited September 7, 2017 by djacobson Clarification between MBES and MBEP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
