5. Quarantine
If a virus or a suspicious file is found during a scan the file is moved to the quarantine
depending on the setting. The file is packed into the especially encrypted format
(*.qua) and moved to the quarantine directory INFECTED on your hard disk, so that
no direct access is possible any more.
This directory is located by default in case of Windows 2000/2003 server beneath:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Avira\AntiVir Server\infected
In case of Windows Server 2008 it is located here:
C:\ProgramData\Avira\AntiVir Server\INFECTED
The files in this directory can be repaired later in the quarantine manger or they can
be sent to the Avira Malware Research Center, if necessary.
