WHEN I RUN A SCAN I HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY ALERT MANUALLY. IS THERE A WAY OF MAKING THE PROGRAM DO IT FOR ME.

Please, do not use CAPS... Forum protocol... you're not healing!  ;)
No, only in Professional version.
In Home version you can only use Silent Mode:
Left click the 'a' blue icon.
It will start On-access protection

Click on Internet Mail and then on Customize.
Go to Advanced tab and select Silent Mode and the default answer No. This will send the file (email) to Chest.

Do the same for the and Outlook/Exchange plugin.
The answer Yes in Silent Mode keeps the virus in the file or into the message (attach) and continue the scanning. You can't configure 'delete the infected file' in the Home version.

You can do the same for Standard Shield provider, but it won't be a good idea...

Silent mode in the case of the WebShield provider simply means that avast will keep pressing the "Abort connection" button for hte user automatically.
