    Those look to have been deleted, not put in quarantine?

    If you are dealing with downadup you have 1 or more machines in your environment that either don't have AV installed or are missing windows updates, specifically MS08-067. If you have IPS installed you can go to Monitors -> Logs -> Network Threat Protection -> Attacks. This report should show you what machines are missing AV or patches.

    Without finding the root cause you will continue to get those downadup detections.

    Hello,

    The Enteries you are looking are the Risk Logs, from where you are trying to delete the Files in the Quarantine.

    Here the Enteries would remain as a part of Risk Logs.

    Incase, you feel the Quarantine files are piling up.. check this Thread below:

    Secondly in your case, the files are cleaned by deletion and not quaratined. 

    On a Kind Note: As Cameron highlighted you are Infected with W32.Downadup.B Threat, please work on the Plan of Action as given below -

    It's done automatically by the SEPM.

    Users are getting pop ups and are asking me about it, I really do not want them to get these pop ups.

    4. Select the Policies tab
    5. Expand Location-Specific Settings and select Server Control next to "Client User Interface Control Settings"
    6. Click the Customize button next to "Server Control"
    7. Uncheck "Display Intrusion Prevention Notifications"
