returning malware from quarantine to original location

ejames82 · 04-14-2008, 07:37 PM

i am finally at the point where, if i see that the scan detected malware, that i assume that it's a false positive. today i scanned with adaware 2007 in safe mode and found this:

pskavs.dll

it's a file from panda active scan. i actually did the right thing this time and quarantined it.
i have actually quarantined harmful malware before, then removed it. this is the first time that i have quarantined harmless files. how do i return these files to the original location? thanks.

Click the Scan button on the left. There are 3 items listed under this button. Click 'Quarantine & Ignore'. Highlight the file and click the Restore button at the bottom of the window.

For other readers of this thread, can I assume it's because you generally run a tight ship, scan often, and are squeaky clean?

Just trying to clarify that not everyone should assume that what a scan detects is a false positive.

tetonbob,
i just have good luck not to be infected often. i can honestly say that i scan often and with many different programmes. something i really wanted to be good at, early on.

koala,
i am going to get right on it.

thanks for the replies.
