In previous versions I was able to select schedule boot -time scan and under advanced settings I could tell it to automatically delete virus. I do not see this option in the new version. Is it located somewhere else or is this no longer an option?
Boot time scan is available in avast 5.0.545 for 32bit systems…!!

If you mean automatic actions on boot scan, no, that’s no longer an option for reasons explained on another thread here.
Whilst the boot-time scan is available the auto deletion, etc. has been left out as it was felt it was too dangerous an option to leave in.
Deletion isn’t really a good first option (you have none left), ‘first do no harm’ don’t delete, send virus to the chest and investigate.
However, this is under review I believe and a modified version of what used to be under 4.8 might make it back at some time in the future.
