Title: Can I have Avast automatically perform an action when a virus is found?
Post by: ZellDincht on July 09, 2008, 11:18:12 PM

That is, during scanning?  I can't find an option to make it so it will automatically try to repair a virus infected file, then, if unsuccessful, quarantine it.  That way it won't stop in the middle of the scan waiting for me to tell it what to do.

No, 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).
