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. The primary goal of eradication is to remove malware from infected hosts.
