Quarantine is used to isolate and backup objects detected during an Ad-Aware 2007 scan. You then have the option to restore them at a later time. Objects that are quarantined will be encrypted and compressed, and can only be read and restored using the Ad-Aware 2007 Quarantine manager. Objects stored in Quarantine do not pose a threat to your computer.

The Quarantine manager lists objects by:

Add Objects to Quarantine

To add an object to Quarantine, you must first run an Ad-Aware 2007 scan. From the Scan Results screen, select the object or objects you would like to Quarantine by checking the box beside it. Click the “Quarantine” button to quarantine the object or objects. You can then open the Quarantine manager to see a list of quarantined objects.

Restore Quarantined Objects

In the Quarantine manager, select the quarantined object or objects you would like to restore by checking the box beside it. When you click “Restore,” the object/objects will be removed from Quarantine.

Automatic Quarantine

You can set Ad-Aware 2007 to automatically quarantine objects prior to removal. Click the “Settings” button and select the “Auto Scans” tab. Under “Safety,” check the button next to “Quarantine objects prior to removal.”
