Malware detected: file quarantined
Antivirus on a lab laptop caught a file called eicar.com.txt and moved it to quarantine, a locked box where files cannot run. Some detection names are real threats. Others are harmless test files.
Your task: Decide if this is a real threat or a harmless test. Read the detection name and check whether anything ran.
Assign this alert to yourself to see the evidence and start investigating.
