Business users of Symantec Endpoint Protection can customize the quarantine location, but Norton-branded software does not have this option. Instead of looking for quarantined files in Windows, use your Norton software to find and work with infected data.

To find the files, open Norton, click "Advanced" and press "Quarantine" on the Computer Protection panel. The Security History window shows a list of all quarantined files. To learn about an infected file, select it and click "More Details. In most cases, you should not attempt to access or move quarantined files, as they probably pose a risk to your computer. If you know for sure a file was quarantined improperly, do not pull it out of the Qbackup folder in Windows -- select it in Norton and click "Restore.

Norton will let you select where to move the file.
