    Under the tools tab it says
    Quarantine
    number of quarantined objects: 1

    When i look in the quarantine it is empty. After a few reboots it still says one.
    Any ideas where the quarantined file is? Thanks.

    NOD32 V 4.0.467.0

    Does the number remains same after a computer restart? If so, it could be a file quarantined by another user.

    Yes, it stays the same after reboot. I am the only user of this PC (home laptop).

    Look into the following folders to see if they are actually empty. If some files exist in any of the folders, do not delete them for now as we might need them for perusal:

    "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data\ESET\ESET Smart Security\Quarantine"

    For each of the user accounts, check:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\ESET\ESET Smart Security\Quarantine"

    Do you have display of hidden files enabled? This folder has both the hidden and system attributes set so it's not visible in Windows Explorer by default.

    Only file in that location is an INFO.NQI file.

    Due to lack of support I have uninstalled Eset and got a refund. Any support for this issue would have been nice. NOD32 is a great antivirus, but lack of help has forced me to move on. Thanks.

    This is something that support wouldn't be able to assist with anyways. Perhaps deleting INFO.NQI might help as the devs say.
