Avast home edition; stops while full scanning

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello,

As you guys know, avast! home edition stops when it detects a virus during full scan.
Is there any way that it automatically moves detected files to the Chest box so that I can sleep with letting avast scan my pc over night?
I heard that Pro version has the ability for it.

Thanks for reading.

These automated options are only available in the Pro version. 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

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 virus test file 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.
