Managing quarantine

Copies of deleted or disinfected files are placed in a special directory on your computer that is known as quarantine. Copies of files are stored in a special format that is not dangerous to your computer. You can restore a deleted or disinfected file from the backup copy stored in quarantine.

By default, the application uses the following quarantine directory:

• /var/opt/kaspersky/Kaspersky 24.0/Quarantine if the application was run by the superuser (root).
• /home/<user_name>/kaspersky/Kaspersky 24.0/Quarantine if the application was run by an ordinary user.

Files are stored in an encrypted form. File names have the kaspl*.klq format. Only the user that ran the application can access the files.
