If a virus is found, with Home version, you will have to manually check the option “Don’t show this window again” as soon as the first virus warning appears, and click on “No action” button. This way, nothing will be done and you will be presented the results at the end (and you can perform actions from there). On Professional version, you can have unattended scannings.
There is no problem in doing that, the only problem (if using avast Home) is if a virus is found you will be required to input what action to take, so you may come home to find the scan waiting for input.
This interactive requirement is a limitation of the free home version, but there should be no problem with an unattended scan other than that. Unfortunately if you aren’t present you won’t be able to choose the options suggested by Tech.
