can avast automatically delete viruses when found in boot scan mode

Hi there

When Avast does a boot time scan, and finds a virus you have to press a key to remove the virus each time one is found, can Avast be set so everytime a virus is found when doing a boot scan it will auto delete or move them to the chest?

many thank

Deletion isn’t really a good first option (you have none left) even in the boot-time scan, ‘first do no harm’ don’t delete, send virus to the chest and investigate.

When you schedule a boot-time scan you can click the Advanced Option and select an action like Send to Chest.

many thanks for your help David

No problem, glad I could help.
