You can control whether Client Security deletes files that it quarantines. If you choose to delete quarantined files, you can set the number of days that a Client Security agent waits to delete files that it quarantines.
By default, a new Client Security policy does not enforce deletion of quarantined files.
To enable deletion of quarantined files
-
In the Client Security console, create or edit a policy. For details about how to create or edit a policy, see Creating, editing, copying, and deleting policies.

In the New Policy or Edit Policy dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
-
Under Malware scan options, select the Delete quarantined files check box.
-
In the Delete after box, type the number of days that a Client Security agent should wait to delete a quarantined file. The maximum wait is 100 days.
-
After you finish creating or editing the policy, click OK.
