Does NIS2010 automatically scan the quarenteened files after each signature update to check for recxently identified false positives? A-squared (full) does this and I think it is a an extremely useful feature. If not automatic does NIS have a way to manually scan the quarenteens to check for false positives? Best regards, Chuck

Hi, Quarantine rescan in Norton 2010 products checks two things: 1) Checks whether the detection has since been white listed. Norton AntiVirus engine uses a callback mechanism, which performs a white list checking. If the convicted file (False Positive) is now white listed, then the file is restored. 2) Checks whether the detection has since had virus definition written to detect it. If so it moves from Quarantine to make it a standard threat detection. The quarantine rescan runs once a week at idle time. Hope this clears your query. Vineeth

Excellent! Can you elaborate on Item #2? " Checks whether the detection has since had virus definition written to detect it. If so it moves from Quarantine to make it a standard threat detection." Oves it from Quranteen to where? then does an immediate rescan? or?

The file will restored to its original location and Norton AntiVirus runs a local scan immediately. Vineeth--
