    WD: How do I keep threats in quarantine indefinitely?


    Sorry for all the unsolved threads, but I noticed that Windows Defender has a feature that it periodically empties the quarantine:
    Code: Quarantined threats have been isolated and prevented from running on your device. They will be periodically removed.[/quote] I don't want it to do that! How do I keep them in quarantine indefinitely, as I did on Windows 7? I want to keep them in there as a form of "quarantined files history", so I can look back on what has been detected over time. I know they can't run as long as I don't hit Restore. The Windows 7 version (MSE) had a setting where you could "remove quarantined files after x days", but I can't seem to find that in WD to disable it. Where is that setting located? If applicable, what Registry key/entry?

    :)

    11/22/17 my windows 10 Defender stopped working.

    * Merged

    * Original title: quarantined threats

    I did a Defender scan and it stated I had quarantined threats when I clicked on history/view threats nothing showed. How do I completely delete quarantined threats on my HP laptop/windows 10

    WD Detects Trojan:Win32/Derbit.A But Cannot Remove Due to Error 0x80508023

    Two days ago, my main AV program, Malwarebytes Premium, continuously reported its blocking of hundreds of outbound attempts to connect to a malicious website using the process msiexec.exe. However, Malwarebyte's scan of my PC reported no threats. That evening,
    Windows Defender (WD) ran its daily scheduled scan and reported it detected and quarantined Trojan:Win32/Wammuras.C!cl. I chose to delete the virus in quarantine and then rebooted my PC.

    This put an end to Malwarebytes notifications of attempts to connect to a malicious website. However, I then got a Windows notification that malware had been detected and Windows Defender (WD) was removing it. When I opened WD, and looked under "All Detected
    Items", it listed a new detected item "Trojan:Win32/Derbit.A" with an action "Quarantined". However, below that was the message: "The following error occurred: Error code 0x80508023. The program could not find the malware and other potentially unwanted software
    on this computer." I did look under "Quarantined Items" and nothing was there.

    I now get the "Trojan:Win32/Derbit.A" detection everytime I start my computer followed by the 0x80508023 error code in WD. Running a subsequent full scan with WD always reports no threats detected. The same thing happens with any subsequent Malwarebytes
    scans. As a further precaution, I downloaded a trial copy of Kaspersky Premium and ran its full scan. Again, no threats were detected. Most recently, I discovered the offline scan capability of WD and ran that. It made no difference.

    I have not noted any unusual behavior with my PC since WD began reporting the Trojan Win32/Derbit.A. There has been no deterioration in gaming or browser performance and there has been no unwanted pop-ups or browser redirections. Am I potentially receiving
    false positives or am I dealing with a very sophisticated malware that can elude the removal attempts by WD? Any suggestions for next steps would be appreciated.

    WD: How do I keep threats in quarantine indefinitely?

    I'll add to your good questions two more
    - WHERE are the quarantined files?
    - where is a setting to scan/or not scan external drives?
