Hi,
What could be the correct setting for this type of action.
Let us say I have got a file infected.abc before installing AVAST on my system. After I install AVAST, Now if I double click this file AVAST should ONLY deny access.
But now if some process tries to create the file infected.abc somewhere else in my system , AVAST should promptly delete it as per the user choice.
Now I have set the File system shield actions as REPAIR and then NO ACTION.
If I unzip a few sample virus files , I get the AVAST alerts ,and also find the files are indeed unzipped. Now if I double click those files , I get the WINDOWS alert that it is virus infected.THe process can be saved by AVAST already deleting the file at the time of creation.
If I choose the action as repair and delete in AVAST , I find some files which may have been already created (before installing AVAST) are deleted if I click them wheras I want AVAST to only prevent access.
