Brief description and a set of potential actions to take for the object. This description shows what sort of object the dangerous program has infected.

Quarantine - Move the suspicious object to Quarantine. When you place an object in Quarantine, it is moved, not copied. The object is deleted from the disk or e-mail and is saved in the Quarantine folder. Files in Quarantine are saved in a special format and are not dangerous.

Delete - delete the object. Before deleting, a backup copy is made of the object in case the necessity arise to restore it or a portrait of its infection.

Skip - block access to the object but take no actions on it; simply record information about it in the report.
