Virus found --> Auto delete?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello,

I’ve just converted a Norton/McAfee user (a friend) to swap to Avast! :slight_smile:
He has a question about default action when a virus is found, how to change the default action (Alerting) by the action of deleting the infected file (or move it to the chest) when running a complete scan (local disks)?

I found this option in the Avast4.ini:

AutoDelete=-1

Is it the option to play with?

Thanks for any help. :slight_smile:

No, I believe it’s the key controling the automatic deletion of sessions in the Enhanced User Interface.

The automatic actions can be set the Professional version of avast! - in the Enhanced User Interface, by editing the corresponding task (page “Virus”).

Kaleus, igor is correct (this option is available only in Pro version).

The option AutoDelete into [UserInterface] section of avast4.ini file is for Automatically delete sessions after certain timeout (days).

More information about the avast4.ini file you can see here.

Ok, my friend will maybe update to pro version, i’ll inform him about that.

Thank you.
