When PortalProtect quarantines encrypted, password protected, and Unscannable files, it reports to SharePoint Server that the files are infected. In some cases, PortalProtect may identify a file as being infected, when it actually is not. Trend Micro recommends that you review your quarantine logs from time to time for files that may have been identified with a false positive.
