Have you met this one before, ?

A few days Kaspersky quarantined a file for me - given the provenance of the file this came as no surprise, despite the fact it had been sitting in unused cold-storage for many months having been passed as clear at the time... as new things are discovered etc.

This morning Kaspersky popped up to inform me that the file in quarantine was not infected, offering to restore it to it's original location - again not unusual when a false-positive is discovered. I did so.

As soon as I did, another Kaspersky pop-up - suspicious file moved to quarantine... the same file it had just advised me could come out of quarantine.

"принять решение и придерживаться его" as a somewhat baffled Englishman might say with the assistance of Google...

Kaspersky has a "scan quarantine" setting that sends files back to lab for checking by an analyst

the behaviour analysis element of KIS is what is detecting the suspicious file in its original location
what you neeed to do is add that file to the ignore list or the loop will continue


It is a problem and the behaviour module is prone to lots of false positives but it is a very handy module to catch 0 day malware or behaviour that is likely to cause problems

I'll do that, thank you

Indeed... life is a lot safe with than without!
