F-Secure antivirus quarantine directory This directory safely stores infected files and related metadata.

Quarantined files are stored as tar (short for "tape archive") archives that cannot cause harm. However, you should not open, extract, or copy the quarantined archives. If you need to access the quarantine, use the "Open quarantine" link in the F-Secure product settings. To prevent accidental access to the quarantine directory, it is protected by file system access controls in systems with NTFS partition, and a hidden attribute in FAT32 file systems. When you uninstall the product, this directory is not deleted so that you can recover files from the quarantine after the uninstallation if you believe that the product has quarantined a clean file.
