5.10.1.2. Work with Quarantine storage

Kaspersky Anti-Virus moves all suspicious objects detected during a full
computer scan or in real-time protection mode to quarantine, where you may
continue operations with them (scanning, restoration, deletion, etc.)
By default Kaspersky Anti-Virus rescans quarantined objects after each update
of its anti-virus database. If you need to check quarantined objects manually, we
recommend updating the anti-virus database prior to such scan. Updated
databases may already contain information about viruses suspected in your files,

the Add button and select the suspicious file in the standard File select
hyperlink in the complete scan window (see Figure 5).
