Hi. Is there anyway to get Avast to like scan the PC without stopping everytime it finds a virus? I would rather to leave it on over night and scan the whole PC and then list all the stuff it found at the end so I can deal with it then. I will not be able to sit at the PC and deal with each find at a time, so I think just reporting all the viruses and stuff at the end would be more convienent.
This is a limitation of the Home (free) version that it has interactive input requirement, there have to be differences in the Home/Pro version and this is one of them, the programmers have to eat ;D
This is preferable to reducing the protection level to have a difference to the Pro version.
In the Home version you can check the option “Don’t show this window again” when the first virus warning appears, select the “No action” button. This way, no action will be taken and you will given the results at the end of the scan (and you can perform actions from there). Over time this will become less of an issue, as the resident, on-access scanners are designed to intercept infection before it gets into your system.
There was one suggestion to place something like the eicar test virus at the start of the first drive to be scanned in a file like ~a-eicar.com that should soon be detected and you can do the option “Don’t show this window again” when the first virus warning appears, select the “No action” button. So you should have a list of files waiting your action.
