Quarantine option is another way to get rid of malicious code. It puts infected files in a special folder.

 

First of all, you need to scan your website files to see if you have anything to quarantine.

 1. If the scanner found something with unwanted code, you can quarantine it.

Click any category name to open it. There are buttons under each file. Click "Quarantine It" to place the file into a special folder.

Please, keep in mind that original name of the file will be modified.

Additionally your website will tested if it is still active and has no errors after quarantine option worked. Otherwise the action will be rolled back and you will be informed.
