Description
Malware incident containment has two major components: stopping the spread of malware and preventing further damage to hosts. Disinfecting a file is generally preferable to quarantining it because the malware is removed and the original file restored; however, many infected files cannot be disinfected. Accordingly, antivirus software should be configured to attempt to disinfect infected files and to either quarantine or delete files that cannot be disinfected. By enabling the quarantine, organizations will have the ability to submit copies of unknown malware to their security software vendors for analysis and will able to conduct internal forensic evaluation.
