Hi,

I just downloaded and ran MBAM last night after my Avast! Home Edition found two infections that I've had trouble finding info on the Internet. So I turned to DanWeb.com and did some digging and found the mods suggesting downloading and running MBAM. I had also found suggestions on PC World's website while my AV was scanning.

I said all this to ask what may seem like a stupid question even though I can't find an answer. Can you recover files after MBAM removes them? I ask because I know other AV and Anti-Spy/Sapm programs I've used and still use archives them in the program's archive so these programs can restore the file(s) if you need them for running your system. Also, it might help to know my system is an XP SP1.

Thanks for any help with this question.

Yes MBAM stores files in the Quarantine tab of the program and they can be recovered from there if needed.
