Vic, to be clear about this, I am not necessarily arguing for BTS automatic actions, but rather for the completion of the scan before any actions are required. If at the end of the BTS the user would have to manually deal with the results before the machine went on to boot up, that would be fine with me. My problem is coming back to a machine hours later to find the scan stalled at 3%, waiting for my input - and facing the possibility of that happening repeatedly as Avast found other possible viruses.
The other thing I would like to see are exclusions for the BTS. I have a large storage folder whose exclusion would save a lot of time from the scan. And the windows update files, of the pattern C:\windows\$* are also vast and, I think, can be safely excluded.
