Thank you for considering my request. I need clarification for the proper
action to take after finding viruses and malware.

 

I use ClamAv Virus Scanner (or Clamscan) to scan my server on a weekly
basis. I have the Virus Scanner via my cPanel control panel. I have always
taken the action to Destroy the files, but others will return over a period
of time. 

 

My Question is "What is the difference between the choices Disinfect and
Quarantine?"

 

For  example, I can understand that Ignore means to take no action and
Destroy means to delete the file.

 

I think Quarantine would mean to keep the infected file on the server, but
isolate it from the other files.

 

What does Disinfect do?

 

I have been Destroying all infected files, both malware and email, but I'm
not sure if that is my best option.

 

I appreciate your advice and help on this technicality,

 

Robert F
