Use the remove_trace key to enable and disable the removal of all trace malware artifacts from quarantined files when malware detection and quarantine are enabled. Valid values are true (enabled) or false (disabled).
When the remove_trace exclusion is enabled, the malware protection removes all trace malware artifacts from quarantined files on your the host endpoint. By default, the remove_trace key is disabled.
If the remove_trace key value is true, you must also set the following key values to true:
malware Detection enable Key
Quarantine enable Malware Quarantine Key
Quarantine clean_infection Key
Important
If these keys are not enabled, the
remove_tracekey value is ignored.
Change this setting using one of the following methods:
Web UI (see Removing Malware Traces from Quarantined Files).
API custom configuration channels (see Using API Custom Configuration Channels).
Manually on individual endpoints using a text editor (see Modifying the Configuration File for a Single Endpoint).
