Can’t Quarantine or Repair Certain Files

Applies to: Intego ONE for Mac · Antivirus

If Intego ONE can’t repair, ignore, or trust a flagged file, or the same threat keeps returning, try these steps in order. Move to the next step only if the problem continues.

Try Repair or Trust from the Quarantine menu

  1. Open Intego ONE and go to Antivirus > Quarantined Files.
  2. Find the flagged file and choose an action:
    • Repair: Attempts to remove the harmful content while keeping the safe parts of the file.
    • Trust: Marks the file as safe and excludes it from future scans. Choose this only if you’re certain the file is safe.
    • Ignore: Removes the warning from the quarantine list without changing the file. This doesn’t make the file safe.
  3. Confirm your choice.

Restart your Mac

  1. Select Apple menu > Restart.
  2. After your Mac restarts, open Intego ONE.
  3. Return to Antivirus > Quarantined Files and try the action again.

Uninstall and reinstall Intego ONE

Reinstalling Intego ONE may fix a problem that prevents the app from managing a flagged file.

  1. Open Intego ONE and select Help > Uninstall.
  2. Follow the instructions to remove the app, then restart your Mac.
  3. Sign in to My Account, open Overview, and select Download.
  4. Install Intego ONE, run another scan, and try managing the file again.

Manually delete the file

If Intego ONE still can’t remove the file:

  1. Use the file location shown in the scan results to find it in Finder.
  2. Close any app that may be using the file.
  3. Move the file to Trash.
  4. Empty Trash only if you’re certain you don’t need the file.
Important: Don’t delete a system file or use Recovery Mode unless Intego Support tells you to. Removing the wrong file could stop your Mac or an app from working properly.
