Avira User Manual

There are two possibilities to treat the infected item:
• I want to use the default action (Quarantine)
• I want to use a different action (requires administrative rights)
To select one of the two available actions on detection, click the appropriate radio
button. The default value is "Quarantine".
Note
If you want to select a different action than the default one, you have to be
logged in with an administrator account.
Click OK to assume your selection.
The Detections window opens and displays the detected viruses.
If you have chosen a different action than the default one, the infected item is
scanned again and treated the way you have selected.
Scan for Viruses
The pane of the Status tab in the Status window of the event center shows that
Detected viruses have not been treated yet.
Click the link Treat Now for further action.
4.8 Updating
The infected item will be moved to quarantine automatically.
Your Avira product searches for and automatically installs updates of the virus definition
file and the scan engine several times per day. Additionally, you may trigger updates from
the sidebar manually.
Your Avira Mac Security provides 2 types of updates: A mere detection update and an allin-one
update that updates the product and the detection.
To open the Update window, click Update in the sidebar of the event center.
The What would you like to update? window opens.
Select if you want to update the detection only or if you prefer an all-in-one update.
The virus definition file, the scan engine as well as the product itself will be
updated.
Click Update Now, to trigger an update manually.
Note
You must be logged in with an administrator account to trigger the all-in-one
update. Type your password in the password field.
