Hi davecropp,
I'll add a little to what has already been said by onlysomeone
It is not possible in the home version because there have to be some things that attract people to the paid version, the developers don't work for free
A way of getting around this would be to put the eicar test file at the beginning of the drive, and naming it with a number first i.e.: 0-eicar....
This will ensure that it will be detected first.
You can then click to 'not show this again' and 'continue'.
This will cause the results to be produced at the end of the scan and from there you can decide on what to do.
Another thing - Very important
Have you used the AVG removal tool yet?
