ESET Question about Quarantine
Dear experts
How Eset Quarantine works? If I add manually an infected file or .dll that was reported by an antimalware as TREATH, the malware stores to Quarantine and my system is clean? Or Quarantine a file or .dll manually stores the malware in order to submit to for analysis, and my system is still infected?
Any suggestion, help, advice, ideas are more than welcome
Thank you very much

well i dont know about ESET but whenever an AV Quarantines the file, it would mean it has encrypted it and saved it to a safevault (the AV's quarantine). so the system should be clean as original fine is quarantined.

I would like to add a point here that Clean and Quarantine are two entirely different actions taken by any anti-virus and file is never clean as original as said by mail2divyesh. In clean action the antivirus actually cleans the infected file and it is usable after that but in Quarantine file's access has been blocked and it can never be used untill you manually release the file from vault.

@rebelscum0000 what i said holds true for any AV that you use. If an AV says it has quarantined a file then it means the file has been kept in the AV's safe vault which cannot be accessed by normal programs - usually only the AV which quarantined it can access it.
To answer your question - It was just an intention to assist. Sorry if it hurts you but this is the fact - To answer the above question one doesnt need to be an ESET expert, any one with knowledge in AV technologies can answer the above question and i actually work on AV Technologies :) so i disagree with your comment!
