I did not write about the delete option, but about the ignore option.
I did not write about letting the infection stay in the Pc.
I will try to find out if the shed.exe tool is useful, as Igor writes.
Otherwise, here is a small boot time scan "workaround" that i succesfully have used with v.5. I guess it will not be official methode, but it works:
1) Start the boot time scanner and notice where it starts the scan.
2) Exit the scanner and start Windows.
3) Turn off the Avast web scanner and download a virus to the area where the boot scanner starts the scan.
4) Optimize the speed by renaming the virus file name to start with "a"
5) Start the boot time scanner, and when it detects the virus, choose "ignore all".
6) When the scan is finished, read the scan log and take necessary action.
BINGO
Almost as in the good old v4.8 days....
