Repair
Reference: Configuration options
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner repairs affected files automatically. If the
System Scanner cannot repair an affected file, it carries out the action selected under
Secondary action.
Note
An automatic repair is recommended, but means that the System Scanner
modifies files on the workstation.
Rename
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner renames the file. Direct access to these
files (e.g. with double-click) is therefore no longer possible. Files can later be repaired
and given their original names again.
Quarantine
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner moves the file to the quarantine. These
files can later be repaired or - if necessary - sent to the Avira Malware Research
Center.
Delete
If this option is enabled, the file is deleted. This process is much faster than "overwrite
and delete".
Ignore
If this option is enabled, access to the file is allowed and the file is left as it is.
Warning
The affected file remains active on your workstation! It may cause serious
damage on your workstation!
Overwrite and delete
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner overwrites the file with a default pattern
and then deletes it. It cannot be restored.
Secondary action
The option "Secondary action" can only be selected if the setting Repair was
selected under "Primary action". With this option it can now be decided what is to be
done with the affected file if it cannot be repaired.
Rename
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner renames the file. Direct access to these
files (e.g. with double-click) is therefore no longer possible. Files can later be repaired
and given their original names again.
