Quarantine
Reference: Configuration options
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner moves the file to 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 (wipes) it. It cannot be restored.
Note
If you have selected Delete or Overwrite and delete as the primary or
secondary action, you should note the following: In the case of heuristic hits, the
affected files are not deleted, but are instead moved to quarantine.
Further actions
Launch program following detection
After the on-demand scan, the System Scanner can open a file of your choice if at least
one virus or unwanted program has been detected, for example an email program, so that
you can inform other users or the administrator. (Options available in expert mode only.)
Note
For security reasons it is only possible to start a program after a detection when
a user is logged on the computer. The file is then opened with the rights that
apply to the logged on user. If no user is logged on, this option is not performed.
Program name
In this input box you can enter the name and the relevant path of the program that the
System Scanner should start after a detection.
