No not you. I assumed you had included all of the information you were given.
My “they” referred to the program developers, Avast.
As I read the settings available for a boot scan, you can preselect to have an automatic action taken if a threat is found, such as Fix Automatically/Move to chest/Repair/delete. The default is ASK.
When a threat, or threats are subsequently found in a boot scan, it isn’t good enough in my opinion to hope the user remembers what setting was chosen maybe months previously. The intended action relating to the question should have been shown along with the question. I assume the coding in the program to put that information on the screen has been overlooked (or didn’t work).
