Overview of Avira Professional Security<br />
Actions of the System Scanner and the Realtime Protection (not ProActiv<br />
detections):<br />
Repair<br />
The file is repaired.<br />
This option is only available if the infected file can be repaired.<br />
Rename<br />
The file is renamed with a *.vir extension. Direct access to these files (e.g. with doubleclick)<br />
is therefore no longer possible. Files can be repaired and given their original<br />
name at a later time.<br />
Quarantine<br />
Delete<br />
Ignore<br />
The file is packaged into a special format (*.qua) and moved to the Quarantine<br />
directory INFECTED on your hard disk, so that direct access is no longer possible.<br />
Files in this directory can be repaired in Quarantine at a later data or, if necessary,<br />
sent to Avira.<br />
The file will be deleted. This process is much quicker than Overwrite and delete. If a<br />
boot sector virus is detected, this can be deleted by deleting the boot sector. A new<br />
boot sector is written.<br />
No further action is taken. The infected file remains active on your computer.<br />
Overwrite and delete<br />
The file is overwritten with a default template and then deleted. It cannot be restored.<br />
Warning<br />
This could result in loss of data and damage to the operating system! Only<br />
select the Ignore option in exceptional cases.<br />
Always ignore<br />
Action option for Realtime Protection detections: No further action is taken by Realtime<br />
Protection. Access to the file is permitted. All further access to this file is permitted and<br />
no further notifications will be provided until the computer is restarted or the virus<br />
definition file is updated.<br />
Copy to quarantine<br />
Action option for a rootkits detection: The detection is copied to quarantine.<br />
