I am wondering how I can set my Avast up for scheduled scans, etc? Thanks and have a nice weekend!
No, only in Professional version (see picture here:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=13315.msg112285#msg112285).
In Home version you can check the option "Don't show this window again" as soon as the first virus warning appears, and click on "No action" button. This way, nothing will be done and you will be presented the results at the end (and you can perform actions from there).
Well, that's the way it is, I am afraid; you may call it a limitation of the Home Edition of avast!. In the Professional Edition, you can configure the task to perform automatic actions (or, don't do anything).
In the Home version, you may check the "Don't show again" checkbox in the Virus warning dialog - but only after the first virus has been found (because you won't see the virus dialog until then).
Or you can use Silent Mode:
Left click the 'a' blue icon.
It will start
On-access protectionClick 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.
