    You can view the original file location, virus name, and logs, and submit the suspicious file to FortiGuard. If using FortiClient in standalone mode or FortiClient in managed mode with FortiGate only, you can also view, restore, or delete the quarantined file in this page. If FortiClient is connected to FortiClient EMS, you cannot restore or delete the quarantined file.

After FortiClient receives the whitelist information, it releases the file from quarantine. See the FortiClient EMS Administration Guide for details.
