Managing Infected Objects
When a batch virus scan identifies an infected object, it moves it into a quarantine directory.
When a real-time virus scan identifies an infected object, it sets its Scan Status from *REQUIRED to *FAILURE, but does not move it.
To view and manage both types of infected objects, select 31. Work with Infected Files from the Antivirus main menu (STRAV). The Display Infected Files screen appears:

The body of the screen shows each detected item. If viruses were detected for an item more than once (if, for example, one had been detected then cleared but the file had been defected again), it contains a separate line for each time that viruses were detected for the item.
For each instance, it shows the data and time of the detection, the file name and path name of the file, and whether the virus was detected in real-time or via a scheduled batch scan.
To restore a file that had been quarantined by a batch scan to its original location, enter 2 in the Opt field of its line.
To restore the scan status of a file that had been detected by a real-time scan from *FAILURE to *REQUIRED, enter 2 in the Opt field of its line.
To delete a quarantined file, enter 4 in the Opt field of its line.
To display general information about a file, enter 5 in the Opt field of its line. The standard Work with Object Links screen appears.
To display detailed information about a file, enter 8 in the Opt field of its line. The Display Attributes screen appears, with several pages of information, as shown below:
