Managing Detected Threats

In most cases, SecureAnywhere automatically detects threats and quarantines malware. However, if it detects a potential threat it does not recognize, it prompts you to manage the item.

For more information, see Managing Quarantined Items.

To manage a detected threat, do one of the following:

• Recognize the filename: next to the item name, unselect the Remove checkbox. Do not restore the file unless you are absolutely sure that it is legitimate.
• Do not recognize the filename: select the Remove checkbox.

SecureAnywhere moves the threat to quarantine, where it is rendered inoperable. You do not need to delete it or do anything else.

After SecureAnywhere moves the threat to quarantine, it launches another scan to make sure the system is clean.
