I generally run the scan during the night when im not using the pc.
However when Avast finds a virus it asks what action to take.
Is it possible to set it up so that the scan completes and the "move to chest" for the necessary files is done automatically or can be done at the end of scan?
Thanks

These advanced automated options are only available in the Pro version.
You only have a limited option in the Home (free) version.
Which version do you have, Home or Pro ?

hi, home edition.
No, like David said, only in Professional version. See picture here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=13315.msg112285#msg112285
In Home version you can check the option "Don't show this window again" as soon as the first virus warning appears, and click on "No action" button. This way, nothing will be done and you will be presented the results at the end (and you can perform actions from there). Well, that's the way it is, I am afraid; you may call it a limitation of the Home Edition of avast!. In the Professional Edition, you can configure the task to perform automatic actions (or, don't do anything).

Once you get over the initial couple of scans this should be less of an issue. Once you get your system to get a clean start state, the resident scanners should hopefully stop any new malware getting on the system so this should happen very infrequently.
