- Quarantined: The message notifying that an infected file was moved to the identified files folder.
- Quarantine Failed: The message notifying that an infected file could not be quarantined for a variety of possible reasons.

It is also possible that the maximum disk space used to store identified files (specified on the tab) has been exceeded. Even if the quarantine action fails, any attempt by the system or the user to interact with the file or execute it will be denied during the real-time scan.
