i am using avast now for a long time, but one thing i didnt find till now.
Is it possbile to define rules with avast?
I mean, tell avast what to do if it finds a virus without popping up a dialog.
I often backup my whole harddisk over night, and the problem is, i dont wanna disable avast, but if i dont - it pop up a dialog a 10% and my backup hangs till next morning when i click on the avast dialog. That’s really a problem for me - and i think for many others too.
I believe there is an option to Perform Same Function (or words to that effect) when it encounters a virus. You will have to wait until it does, then tell it to perform a function, (Send to Chest, Delete, Ignore, etc.) then check that option to perform that function without User intervention and let it continue.
Ah, this seems the only way i didnt already tired. thank you
But is the setting the rule for all scans now on, or just for one scan, or till i restart the pc?
hm… ok…
i dont do a scan, i just copy files, and the avast resident scanner popup the messeges, so what is “one scan” in this situation.
but thank you for helping me, mb an admin can explain this a little more detailed
As long as you have the Standard Shield active, it should catch any baddies that try to invade your system, and you receive your Avast! Updates regularly. Make certain that Automatic Updates are toggled on. There are times, however, when I’ve had to stop the Standard Shield to allow certain programs tagged as FP’s to run, but toggle it back on when terminated. Within that space of time, I am at risk of picking up bogies from the Internet, so I make it a practice to do a complete scan at least once every week to be certain that the system is clean.
really? can you post a screenshot?
(i use the pro and can do this but i thought the home wouldn’t have the recognice-action or automatically do this or that…)
Okay, I see the discrepancy. I’m getting a different popup message. Trojan Horse instead of Virus. Notice the box labeled “Don’t show this dialog next time”. If I check that, the scan will continue without popups.
As far as I know, there is an option in the Home Edition to make the Guard react automatically when it finds a threat, but there is no such options for the scanner.
yes–avast! will not touch the file, but then the file will not run and no progress has the access to it until a system restart
no --avast! will delete the file and make it a copy in the quarantine
I believe in the case of copying a number of files, after one of them is blocked by avast! Guard automatically with a “Yes” or a “No”, Windows will continue it’s copying. But I’m not sure, maybe you can make a test ;D
so if i do “Yes” the file will be ignored by avast, but will it be copied or blocked?
if i do “No” the file will be deleted and moved, but will it be copied?
thank you
