Action to take if cleaning not possible

Select what action to take when an infected file is found and it cannot be cleaned (delete is not considered cleaning):

No action—No changes are made, and files will be uploaded/downloaded.

Delete—The file is deleted from the database. If an error occurs during deletion, the error is written into the database scan log. This option is unavailable when the ThreatSense engine parameter cleaning level is set to No cleaning.

Quarantine infected files

When enabled, files marked for deletion will be put into quarantine. By disabling this option, you can deactivate the quarantine to prevent accumulating large numbers of files. For instance, if the partition where the quarantine is located is too small and could potentially get clogged. However, the quarantine should not normally be disabled. This option affects quarantine policy for both cleanable and non-cleanable files. Using quarantine does not affect rules.
