set manully running avast after Windows restarting
« on: November 25, 2014, 12:37:29 PM »
 Hi,
 If there is a way to set manully running avast after Windows 7 restarting and some default action for infected files?
 
 I mean after scanning for viruses avast shows dialog message proposing to restart system and after restarting before Windows is opened there is dos-like search line.
 If some infected file found - it propose to select action. I dislike idea sitting before monitor, so I would like to select option "Cure all" or "Delete all" before restarting of OS. Is it possible and is it good idea?
 
   Thanks!

You can schedule a boottime scan and select what to do if something is found.

Please, clarify where can I schedule a boottime. I did not find this possibility in avast center...
Is this accessible for "Free Avast Antivirus" ?

Important:
Please be advised, that the Boot-time scan is an advanced and purposeful feature designed to be used only when there’s something bad going on the system, and usually takes some time before it finishes. That's why it cannot be scheduled to run every time the computer starts, but as needed only.
