CLOSED Uninstalling emsisoft with quarantined files

[Alyssa 0]

Hi, I uninstalled emsisoft after I thought that I didn’t need it anymore, but I remembered that I still had files in quarantine when I uninstalled. What happened to these files? I’m worried that the malware was let loose on my computer again, especially since malwarebytes just alerted me of some PUPs...

HI Alyssa,

All files stay in quarantine when Emsisoft is uninstalled.  Unless you instruct Emsisoft to delete all folders and user data, then everything that is in quarantine is deleted during the uninstall process.  It is possible that is what Malwarebytes was detecting.
