Viewing the quarantine list

To view the quarantine list

1Go to Anti-Virus > Quarantine.

The quarantine list displays the following information:

File Name

The processed filename of the file that was quarantined. The processed

 

filename has all white space removed. As a file is quarantined, it is 32-bit

 

checksummed and stored on the FortiGate hard disk with the following

 

naming convention: <32bit CRC>.<processed filename>

 

For example, a file named Over Size.exe is stored as

 

3fc155d2.oversize.exe.

Date Quarantined The date and time that the file was quarantined, in the format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm. This value indicates the time that the first file was quarantined if the duplicate count increases.

Service

The service from which the file was quarantined (HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3,

 

SMTP).

Status

Indicates if the file is infected by a virus, caught by heuristics, blocked by a

 

block pattern, or oversized.

Status

Specific information related to the status, for example, “File is infected with

Description

“W32/Klez.h”” or “File was stopped by file block pattern.”

DC

Duplicate count. A count of how many duplicate files were discovered

 

during quarantine. A rapidly increasing number can indicate a virus

 

outbreak.

TTL

Time to live in the format hh:mm. When the TTL elapses, the FortiGate unit

 

labels the file as EXP under the TTL heading. In the case of duplicate files,

 

each duplicate found refreshes the TTL.

Actions

You can delete or download the file. When you download a file, it is

 

downloaded in its original format.

Note: In the case of duplicate files, all fields relate to the originally quarantined file except TTL, which is refreshed with every new instance of a specific file. Duplicate files (based on checksum) are never stored, but an internal counter for each file records the number of duplicates.

Sorting the quarantine list

You can sort the quarantine list according to status (infected or blocked), service (IMAP, POP3, SMTP, FTP, or HTTP), date quarantined, time to live (TTL), duplicate count, or alphabetically by filename,.

To sort the Quarantine list

1Go to Anti-Virus > Quarantine.

2Select a column heading in the Sort by list.

3Select Apply.
