The Quarantine page displays the list of quarantined items with the path, date, and time. You can restore the quarantined items, only if you are sure that they are non-malicious items, otherwise you can remove them.

Caution

Before restoring an item, we recommend that you send it to Trellix Labs for testing. To submit a sample to Trellix Labs, see Trellix KnowledgeBase article KB68030.
