Title: [ScreenSaverScan] Why not to report only?
Post by: myUserNameIsThis1 on June 13, 2007, 04:19:58 PM
Hi all,

Logically: if someone was away from the PC then he will NOT be required to chose what to do if a virus was found, because in the 1st. place HE is not suppose to be there or else, Why he need the screen saving!

1- So: Is there an option to [Report only] if viruses are found after the screen got back to work?

2-a: IS the Avast! ScreenSaverScanning starts all over again from the beginning of folders & files @ the 1st instance of following ScreenSaving?
2-b: (OR): it automatically continue scanning from the last file that was scanned? [say:if within 3 hrs between the ScreenSaving]

                                                                        Thank you ALL and Bye for Now ..
ps. I'm borrowing "Mr.Tech" sunglasses! 8)

No. There isn't such an option in Home version, only in Professional, if you let the automatic actions fields empty, you will only have the results stored into the database and the task (screen saver scanning) will continue.

It continues from the last scanned file into the same session, I mean, if you turn off the computer (or logoff) the task (scanning) will start from the beginning again.
