    Above is a quote from blackspears configuration page for nod32 v2.5

    It sounds like in order to prevent any viruses from getting in the system.. that quaranteen is not secure and therefore should not ever be enabled?

    If this is true... I can't see putting myself at risk just so I can send them to nod32?

    No, not at all, Quarantine simply makes a secure copy of the infected file, it does NOT removed/isolate the infected file as per the meaning of the word "quarantine". It allows you to delete the infection while having a secure copy of the file to submit to Eset, in the event of a False Positive it allows you to restore the file from Quarantine.

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers :D

    thanks blackspear.. I thought I understood that, but the wording threw me.. I thought that maybe you knew something I didn't about the inner workings of nod that made quaranteen unsecure to keep around...

    The wording "secure copy" I like better... thanks...
