"unable to quarantine"

What do you do when your scan results from the backup of your Apple Mac say you have a threat that Trend Macro Antivirus is unable to quarantine?? Has happened in the last 2 backups today.

1. Exact detection or threat type if any

2. Exact File Path of the detection

a. On the Logs screen, select a specific log type - Scan Results

Hi Rochelle,

I have done what you asked below. When I scanned today manually it didn't happen but yesterday it happened twice.

Thank you, jilladyson1! 

 

To further check, may we know where did you save the backup of this file?

Can you please try to run a scan again? If it detects the same email attachment file, is it okay for you to delete it? 

 

Awaiting for your response

I saved the csv file on my desktop Mac in my documents. I did run another scan this afternoon and everything was fine.

Hi jilladyson1,

 

Upon verification, the detected file is in a temporary location. It was detected while you were doing a back up of your drive that's why it was unable to quarantine it.

 

Try to run a scan if it's detected again.
