Would it be better to have the default boot-time scan action be “move to chest” instead of “ask”? Maybe with a GUI reminder upon reboot to check the chest, with the default chest sort being based on time it was moved to the chest.
Until I noticed that I could change that in the low-level GUI settings, (overnight) boot-time scanning was a useless pain, since it would always stop early on when it would find some (real or even false-positive) threat. Surely no one sits and watches a boot-time scan…
Automated action used to exist for boot-time scans. They where removed for the potential damage they might cause. As you noticed, boot scans can produce FPs, and in the case of you running an overnight scan and it flags the wrong file and throws it in the chest, you might end up with a bricked PC, the boot scan having moved to chest something that is needed by Windows to boot. So if you choose to run a boot-time scan, every detection must be considered carefully…no matter the sizable PITA it makes it.
