quarantine
ZoneAlarm Pro's MailSafe quarantines incoming e-mail attachments whose filename
extensions (for example, .EXE or .BAT) indicate the possibility of auto-executing
code. By changing the filename extension, quarantining prevents the attachment
from opening without inspection. This helps protect you from worms, viruses,
and other malware that hackers distribute as e-mail attachments.
