Is therea setting that i can use that will do a system scan and upon finding infected files will automatically relocate them to the chest and then continue the scan? What i want to be able to do is to start a scan, over night, and when I come in in the morning have everything completed and necessary files already relocated to my chest. Am I being reasonable?
Which version do you use? Home or Pro? If you use Home edition and want that program quarantine malicious file automatically so you can use Boot-time scan. Or you can use screen saver scan. ( select advanced options ) There you can find options about automatic quarantine/delete… etc.
I am using 4.8 Professional, where do i go to change the settings so that the files are automatically sent to the chest?
In the virus tab of settings.
