As the legal profession would say… . ‘already asked and answered’. I’ve agreed that if ‘delete’ didn’t work then it is a issue for the Alwil guys to address. I’ve also given my opinion on what you ‘previously’ asked which was “A virus program that catches a virus SHOULD prevent further access to that file.”, which I disagree on. These were two different responses to two seperate sentences that you wrote, which I replied to as such (seperately).
I still disagree with you (depending upon exactly what you mean by ‘something similar’) in as much as a file caught by ‘false alarm’ (NOT one that you have chosen to delete, but this hasn’t happened), should still be accessable from quarantine or the ‘chest’.
OK, so this is Avast ‘Home’ or ‘Pro’ on a single machine?. To refer back to your earlier comments about an executable being activated on a web site (and I am open and happy to be corrected on this), the Pro version has the ‘Script Blocker’, which is not in the Home version. So until an .exe file is run from your local machine, it can only remain a ‘script’ and the Pro version should, I assume, deal with it. Note: I’m not referring to an .exe file that has been downloaded/sent with e-mail etc., or that Avast should have deleted at your bequest.
