Are you using avast! Home or Professional?
How do you start the scan: by Explorer Extension, Virus Cleaner, Simple User Interface or Enhanced User Interface...
Avast 4 Home, starting from "simple interface".
The settings for automatic handling a virus file is given only in Professional version but, in Home (Simple User Interface) a window will appear and ask what to do with the virus file (repair, delete, move, move to Virus Chest, etc.) and you can continue the scanning...
I'm NOT asking for "automatic handling". I don't have a problem with the window appearing and asking me what to do. I just want that window to appear AFTER the ENTIRE scan is done.
Before using Avast I had tried AVG Free version. I like avast much better and will not likely switch back.
But AVG did one thing right: When I ran a complete scan, it did not stop. It went all the way to the end. Then and only then, it asked me what to do with each suspect file it found.
That's what Avast should do also.
