Note
The action
Quarantine
is preselected by default in the System Scanner
notification. Further actions can be selected via a context menu.
Automatic
If this option is enabled, no dialog box in case of a virus detection appears. The
System Scanner reacts according to the settings you predefine in this section as
primary and secondary action.
Copy file to quarantine before action
If this option is enabled, the System Scanner creates a backup copy before carrying
out the requested primary or secondary action. The back-up copy is saved in
Quarantine, where the file can be restored if it is of informative value. You can also
send the backup copy to the Avira Malware Research Center for further investigation.
Primary action
Primary action is the action performed when the System Scanner finds a virus or an
unwanted program. If the option "
Repair"
is selected but the affected file cannot be
repaired, the action selected under "
Secondary action"
is performed.
Note
The option
Secondary action
can only be selected if the setting
Repair
was
selected under
Primary action
.
Repair
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.
