Common Questions
Can I delete my history files safely?
Yes, you can! Deleting history will not have any negative impact on your device. If any threats are found during a scan, they will remain in your Quarantine until you restore or delete the infected file(s) manually.
Can I restore history that has been deleted?
No, your scan history will be deleted permanently. History files can not be restored after deletion. We only recommend deleting your history if you keep a separate record, otherwise you might lose track.
