Before I do that, though, I'm not sure what is meant by general answer Yes or No. I looked at the help file, which says something about global settings on the Virus page, but I don't know where that page is to be found.
Just to make things clear: When avast detects a virus with an incoming message, it gives me the possibility to delete (recommended) along with other possibilities. When I check delete, I get another dialog asking me to choose whether to delete entirely or move to recycle bin. I click on delete (entirely). These are the two choices I want taken automatically. If choosing general answer No means that will be done, fine, but I admit I'm confused.
Thanks for your help.
