Is-it possible to automatically remove viruses (say in quarantine) during a scan using “avast 4! Edition Familiale” ? Actually this soft stops and asks me for a choice (suppression, quarantine, …) each time it finds a virus during a scan of my hard disks. This fact is particularly laborious when the scan duration is large (minutious scan). Is there a solution to monitor the program or the no free avast Pro version is needed for that ?
Many thanks for your answers.
Firstly please remove some of the blank lines in your post and the duplicated text at the bottom, it is very long, click the Modify button in your post so you are able to edit it.
These advanced automated options are only available in the Pro version.
You only have a limited option in the Home (free) version, to send the infected file to the virus Chest (silent mode, with general answer no, see below).
My own feeling on this is you should use the default interactive action. This way you know exactly what is going on with your system. If you are getting so many warnings, that you want to automate this process, I believe you should review your security practice - filter emails at source, delete from server rather than download them, review the sites they visit, etc.
See the avast help file, Resident Protection: Standard Shield Provider Settings - “Advanced” Page.
Click on Standard Shield and then on Customize.
Go to Advanced tab and select Silent Mode and the General answer No.
