  2. Windows Defender is missing Restore Button for Quarantined Threats

    It wasn't listed under "Quarantined Threats", but was listed in "See full history" as quarantined. It has been about 2 hours
    and now it is listed under "Quarantined Threats" which now shows the Restore or Delete options. Something must be causing
    a delay in listing the quarantined file under "Quarantined Threats" after they have been found and quarantined by Defender.

    Is restoring a quarantined threat the same as allowing the threat?

    My Windows defender scan reported a threat last week. I quarantined it. After a few days, I updated my defender virus definitions, restored the threat, and ran another scan (because I wanted to find out if it was a false positive). This new scan did not
    report any threat.

    However, under defender's threat history, allowed items, I see this threat listed. I do NOT want to allow the threat, just wanted to find out if the latest definitions would still reported the file as a threat. How should I do that? Thank you. I am using
    windows 10.

    Threat detection Options confusion

    Hello,

    I had a virus on my PC and windows defender quarantined it.

    But I clicked on the “Action” button and has three options: Removes , Restore , and Allow

    I clicked on Remove, but the threat status changed to: “threat removed or restored “

    Which is confusing.

    I then clicked again on the “Action” button and only 1 option appeared which is “ Allowed” I mistakenly Clicked on. But then I removed it from the “ allow history “

    So my question:

    • does allowing a “ removed or restored” threat means releasing it again in the PC or it means only allowing the future similar threat?
    Because I run a scan after i removed it from allow history and nothing is detected.

    I’m very confused. I would appreciate help.

    My threat was : worm win32/bundpil. “Two letter “
