Quarantine and Logs To treat a selected item, choose an option from the Action for selected item(s) menu. You may select the following actions: • Delete: The infected file is irrevocably removed. • Rescan: The infected file is scanned again by the Real-Time Protection scanner. Rescanning a file is recommended if the virus definition file of your Avira Mac Security has been updated and a false positive report is suspected. This enables you to confirm a false positive with a rescan and possibly restore the file, otherwise it remains in quarantine. If verified as virus, you receive an Antivirus ALERT dialog that provides more detailed information. • Restore: The detected malware will be relocated to its original folder, if the original location still exists. • Send file to Avira: You may send files to Avira for further examination. The path of the file you wish to send is written automatically to the subject line of the sending form. Fill in the form with your personal data as name and email address and select an assumption from the menu. Don't forget to choose a file format for Avira's reply email. To send the file, click Upload. The progress indicator shows the upload process. The file sent stays in quarantine. Note If your Mac is managed by the Avira Management Console, the Delete and Restore actions are only available to administrator users, upon authentication. Click Apply to perform the selected action. You are asked to enter your password to allow Avira to perform the selected action. To allocate only one action to all quarantined files, click Select All.
