Sorry if this is obvious or answered before but I can’t seem to find how to set Avast to automatically delete infected email without user interaction. I have found how to get it to not ask for what action to take BUT it leaves the infected email intact. I want the attachment deleted with only a message to indicate it was once there - all without any interaction by me. I’m using Incredimail if that makes any difference. Thankyou
You need to use Silent Mode. This moves infected attachements into chest and ads notification tag into mail subject field.
I tried this and it still left the attchment there (with a message telling me to BEWARE). There are a number of places in the settings where I can activate “silent mode”. Can you be more specific as to where and what I need to set? Thankyou.
I believe you only have that option in the professional version of avast. So, I’m guessing that you are using the home version, right? In the (free) home version, you can only do what Rejzor said.
You need the silent mode with the answer “No” (not “Yes”, which keeps the attachment in the message).
If you happen to have the Professional version of avast!, you can edit the corresponding task (Resident Protection in this case) and set the automated virus action in detail.
I’m using the Home edition. Which “silent mode” do i say “no” to?
It depends on your e-mail client. If you use full MS Outlook, set it in the “Outlook/Exchange” resident provider. If you use anything else (including Outlook Express), it’s the “Interner Mail” provider.
Oh yeah,i forgot to mention,this scren was taken in Resident Shield,but its almost identical in Internet Mail provider…
Personally I don’t use silent mode, because I want to know what is going on with my system. If someone is getting so many warnings of virus infection, infected emails, etc. that they become intrusive, then it is time to review their security practice - filter emails at source, delete from server rather than download them, etc.
I think the best is the ‘Silent Mode’ for the Internet Mail and/or MS Outlook plugin
(you can review the infected files lather into the Chest)
and
not the automatic action for the Standard Shield. 
Thanks Igor, RejZoR and all.
I knew it would be something simple. I just couldn’t figure what. I really only need it for one account which is being pelted with the Zafi-B virus (2 or three per day every day) since June. I feel it is just one computer out there sending these but obviously impossible to identify. The same spoofed email addresses are starting to appear over and over. I got tired of hitting - delete - confirm on these every time so hence my question.
