Quarantine Directory Not Found

The main screen of WG has a path for the quarantine directory. THe default directory path was "c:\quarantine". I modified it to be "c:\Wormguard\quarantine". I don't see either directory. Does WG create this direcitory when it first tries to quarantine a file, or am I supposed to create this directory?

 

I'm assuming no reply means for the first time (that I've seen), everyone at Wilders (including the folks from DCS) have no answers.

 

I have an answer, just compiling a reply/pics, sec...

ok.. first.. What I had done was create a 'Quarantine' folder within the Wormguard directory, not just in C:\ drive.

Now, to get it to quarantine, you must have options checked like my GUI, then when the warning window comes up you 'Select' what you want it to do.

Nothing, delete, quarantine, etc.

first pic... checked options...

Now when the warning comes up... from the drop down list of what actions to take.. select Quarantine...


OK that.... a confirmation window comes up saying it's done, OK that, and it's gone to the Quarantine folder... but..

it has changed the extensions yet again, to a harmless .txt file + it has added an ANALYSIS.txt file giving information regarding it...

see pic...

Thanks, Tassie. So you DO have to create the directory yourself. I'll do that now and give it a test.

 

Hi D&C:

I'm not too sure if you *had* to, I just did, as wanted it kept within the WG directory itself. Never tried it at all first. I did that myself after first installing and playing around.

Maybe it would have created it's own Quarantine folder in C:\ if not there, don't know.

Tass: Just to let you know, it will create the directory for you once you quarantine something for the first time. Suggestion for next version: Have the app check for the existence of the directory when entered into the dialog box.
