Zone Alarm Quarantine Page - Here you can view all objects quarantined for "viruses" and for "spyware"

• Zone Labs security software's MailSafe quarantines incoming e-mail attachments whose filename extensions (for example, .EXE or .BAT) indicate the possibility of auto-executing code. By changing the filename extension, quarantining prevents the attachment from opening without inspection. This helps protect you from worms, viruses, and other malware that hackers distribute as e-mail attachments.
