Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi :slight_smile:

I’d like to know how to configure Avast when it finds a virus

I mean i have these options : repair, delete, rename, move to chest and interactive

in what order should i put these options ? … ???

Thanks for your precious help… :slight_smile:

Are you using the Professional version?

I’d suggest:
repair > if fails > move to chest > if fails > interactive > if fails > stop :wink:

First thank you for this quick reply … :slight_smile:

Yes i have the professional version does that change something about what u said ?

Thank you…

I also noticed that u didn’t choose the delete option , it seems to me that the first thing that come in mind is to get rid of any viruses , so i wonder why u didn’t include the delete option at all … ???

The safest is send the file to Chest (not delete it). For further investigation (could be a false positive) or the file is needed to computer to boot, for instance.
You could delete the infected file while the ‘interative’ action is being taken.

Precesely the Professional version allows this. The Home version doesn’t.

If you want 8)
repair > if fails > move to chest > if fails > interactive > if fails > delete > stop

i did as u told but the program won’t let me put teh stop option at the end, i mean i did :

repair move to chest interactive delete…but i can’t put the stop option at the end ???

Why not?
Just can’t you see the word or you’re sure the word is not there, I’ve tried seconds ago:

Repair > if fails > Move to Chest > if fails > Interactive > if fails > Delete > if fails > Stop
