Ubuntu 20.04 Clamav restore from quarantine

Question

I found that Clamav has set in quarantine some files important (libreOffice, Ubuntu Software and other not virus file). Is there any way to restore all the files from the quarantine?

They may be false positives. Unless you are using Wine, ClamAV is not worth using. Ubuntu is not that vulnerable. — Archisman Panigrahi, Feb 22 '22 at 05:48
I agree I uninstalled clamav, but still I can't open those programs — Anton, Feb 24 '22 at 03:26
In case you remember name of any of these files, try locate filename, where filename is the name of the file. — Archisman Panigrahi, Feb 24 '22 at 06:45
