Hi as123,

Every file that Panda detects and neutralizes is moved to quarantine before any action is taken upon them as a preventive measure. The Antivirus will take the most appropriate decision in each case, depending on the type of threat.
Malware: If a file turns out to be malware, it will be automatically removed from the computer after seven days.
Suspicious files: They will be kept in quarantine until Panda determines whether they are dangerous (malware) or innocuous (goodware). If the file turns out to be goodware, the antivirus will remove it from quarantine and return it to its original path.
PUPs: Adware and other types of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) are kept in quarantine indefinitely.

Hi As123,

the file is uploaded to the laboratory. But if it is large, it will not be able to upload it.
