Move to chest
« on: November 07, 2004, 12:38:25 AM »
I would like that Avast doesn't ask for confirmation when he finds an infected file but automatically moves all infected files to chest. I enabled the "move to chest" in the "Task Properties Screensaver" (see screenshot 1).

Screenshot 1:


Question 1: When I am doing a manual scan (see screenshot 2), will Avast use the same settings as defined for the screensaver? If not, how must I configurate the manual scan to automatically move infected files to chest?

Screenshot 2:


Question 2: When I am doing a "Scheduled boot-time scan" (see screenshot 3), will Avast use the same settings as defined for the screensaver? If not, how must I configurate the "Scheduled boot-time scan" to automatically move infected files to chest? ("Scheduled boot-time scan" doesn't have a "move to chest"-option)

Screenshot 3:

Eric, there isn't the possibility of sending the file to chest in boot time scanning. Chest is not available there as the drivers won't started at that time. It's not possible.
You can only send automatically to Chest into normal operation of the Pro version (Virus page) or Silent mode for Home version.  ;)

Ok I understand for the Scheduled boot-time scan.

You said that it is possible in normal operation.
Where in the normal scan settings (see screenshot 4) can I put the normal scan in "Silent Mode" so that infected files will be automatically moved to chest?

Eric, please do not post screencaptures when not needed. Telling us what you mean is normally enough. Not everyone on this board has broadband ;)

Yes, eric, it's possible.

Left click the 'a' blue icon.
It will start On-access protection

Click on Standard Shield and then on Customize.
Go to Advanced tab and select Silent Mode and the default answer No.

Do the same for the Internet Mail provider.

Silent Mode and default No will send the file to Chest.
Silent Mode and default Yes will delete the file (irreversible).

You have four ways to scan a file:
- screensaver scan (screenshot 1)
- boot-time scan (screenshot 3)
- resident scan (example: standard shield)
- manual scan (screenshot 2)

The settings for silent mode you explained are for the "resident" scan. How do I configurate Avast so that the infected files will be automatically be moved to chest during the "manual" scan (see screenshot 2 and screenshot 4)?

I want to scan my whole harddisk during the night using the manual scan and I don't want that he puts the scan on "pause" when he finds a virus but automatically move infected files to chest.

Only in Professional version is possible to configure automated actions when a virus is found at the on-demand (manual) scan. In Home version you can only do this for the on-access scan.

So I suppose that the only work-arround for the home-version is to use the screensaver scan. With the screensaver scan you can configure automated actions when a virus is found (see screenshot 1).

Hi Technical,

why don't you choose
"Repair" if Failed "Move to chest" ...?

 ???

Just an example  ;D
Of course, in real life I use the way you said.

Are you using the Home version or the Trial Professional version?
How do you get that window?

I am using Home version. I get that window by displaying the settings from the Avast Screensaver.

This is new to me... I thought the Virus page is only available at Pro version.
Good to know this is a Home version feature.  ;)

Actually, I think your assumption was correct.
Eddy, are you sure it's a Home version? Isn't it rather a Pro version trial, for example?
