To be honest: that behaviour (default action set to “delete if quarantine is not possible”) is something I complain for years!

The first thing I have to do when having finished installing Avast! entirely (before doing anything else) is disabling Avast! and spoiling lots of time to control and set about 20 settings to “1st. action (anything but NOT delete), 2nd action (anything but NOT delete), 3rd action (anything but NOT delete)”

I really cannot understand why Avast! insists on having “delete” by default – and adapting that always takes much, much time you have to be prepared for. So for installing Avast you’ll mandatorily have to count 10 to 15 minuts for ONE PC – just because all these settings take time.

There are so many possiblities to NOT need to set “delete by default” without “decreasing security-level for dummies”.

– There should be AT LEAST an option while installing to select “fail safe for dummies” (may be selected by default), ev. “for advanced users”, and mandatorily “for specialists and developers” actions schemes (don’t know how you’ll name them).

It is obvious that only in “for specialists and developers”, NO action can be set to “delete”. I would propose following action schemes:

– “fail save for dummies”: 1st action: repair – 2nd action: move to chest – 3rd action: delete
– “for advanced users”: 1st action: repair – 2nd action: move to chest – 3rd action: ask
– “for specialists and developers”: 1st action: ask – 2nd action: move to chest – 3rd action: no action

This selection has to be done WHILE INSTALLING (between the doubleclick on the installer and the begin of install process)!

Next thing is to have a “general setting” (when all is installed) so that you can – at any time when the software is installed – set ALL THE ACTIONS (where applicable – three step action settings) to the same you want; instead of having to change about 20 settings to “1st action/2nd action/3rd action” each separately, you can set a “general” setting that takes that pattern for all!

SO PLEASE AVAST! INTRODUCE AN EASIER WAY TO NOT BEING FORCED TO ACCEPT DELETE AS PART OF THE DEFAULT ACTIONS!!!

Same thing is with reports: WHY is it necessary to set 8 report patterns separately if I want to have ALL in the same way (I want the soft errors and skipped files). Why is there no “general setting” for all – that these general settings can override all the individual settings (that still remain configurable as individual settings).

Btw: YOU ARE DOING THAT PATTERN (GENERAL SETTING) with the packers: you have to select ONLY ONCE to select ALL Packers, and this option is taken also for all other sub-options. So why aren’t you doing that (general setting for all) also for reports – and (very important) for the action settings?
