Title: Silent Rename/Move action by default
Post by: behco on May 06, 2004, 07:03:08 PM

Hi all,

How can I select the action taken by AVAST by default, preventing it to ask questions?
I would like to move all virus found in mail check to another folder, something like: c:\avast\virus

I read that I can silent move it to chest, but it is not the case here.

Thank you,
Behco.

Only in Pro version you can predefine what to do with the virus. In Home Edition you are limited to Chest only (Silent Mode)

That is a pity... :-[
After all, it is a very basic feature control what to do with a virus, and I beg the avast team to reconsider it to home edition.
Thank you anyway.
Behco.

Hello!

I have the same problem and nothing found in help that this feature isn't available in Home Edition.

But nevermind, it's OK to move them to an isolated folder. But there's the next problem: I don't find out how to configure the program that infected eMails silently moved into the chest. I set the "Silent Mode" and use the radio button to "No" option. What else more is to configure to avoid the annoying Dialogs in Outlook?

Thanks,
Polar
