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.
Quarantine
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.
