How detections are handled 

The type of threat and the policy settings determine how the virus and spyware protection service 
handles a detection: 

Files and programs 

Virus detections: The virus and spyware protection service attempts to 
clean the file. If it can be cleaned, the user is not interrupted with an 
alert. If it cannot be cleaned, an

alert appears, and the detected file is 

deleted. A copy is placed in the quarantine folder. 

Potentially unwanted program detections: If the virus and spyware 
protection service is set to 

mode, detections are cleaned or 

deleted. If set to 

mode, users must select the response. See 

 for details. 

In all cases, an encrypted backup copy of the original item is saved in a 
quarantine folder (see 

). Data for 

all activity is uploaded to the SecurityCenter for use in reports.

with has a status of
