Thank you for considering my request. I need clarification for the proper action to take after finding viruses and malware.

I use ClamAv Virus Scanner (or Clamscan) to scan my server on a weekly basis. I have the Virus Scanner via my cPanel control panel. I have always taken the action to Destroy the files, but others will return over a period of time.

My Question is “What is the difference between the choices Disinfect and Quarantine?”

For  example, I can understand that Ignore means to take no action and Destroy means to delete the file.

I think Quarantine would mean to keep the infected file on the server, but isolate it from the other files.

What does Disinfect do?

I have been Destroying all infected files, both malware and email, but I’m not sure if that is my best option.

I appreciate your advice and help on this technicality,

Robert F
