Doug,

I see from the title that you’re on macOS. Are you using ClamXAV or ClamAV?  ClamXAV is a third-party product built around ClamAV.

ClamAV doesn’t automatically quarantine files that triggered alerts during a scan. Configuring it to move files to a quarantine would’ve been something you had to have set up manually.

ClamXAV automatically quarantines “infected” files. According to their documentation “simply click the Restore button beside the file in the Infection List“.  https://www.clamxav.com/support/quick-start-guide/

When Quarantine has a false positive how do you restore the file(s)?

Thanks,
