Avira AntiVir Server
This button allows you to select an action that is activated in the dialog box by default
when a virus is detected. Select the action that should be activated by default and click
on the Default button.
Note
The action repair cannot be selected as the default action.
Automatic
If this option is enabled, then no dialog box for selecting an action appears following the
detection of a virus or unwanted program. Guard reacts according to the settings you
define in this section.
Backup to quarantine
If this option is enabled, the Guard creates a backup copy before carrying out the
requested primary or secondary action. The backup copy is saved in quarantine. It can be
restored via the Quarantine manager if it is of informative value. You can also send the
backup copy to the Avira Malware Research Center. Depending on the object, there are
more selection possibilities in the Quarantine manager.
Display detection alerts
If this option is enabled, then for each detection of a virus or unwanted program a
warning message appears.
Primary action
Primary action is the action carried out when the Guard finds a virus or an unwanted
program. If the option repair is selected but a repair of the file involved is not possible,
the action selected under Secondary action is carried out.
Note
The option Secondary action can only be selected if the option Repair was selected under
Primary action.
repair
If this option is enabled, the Guard repairs affected files automatically. If the Guard
cannot repair an affected file, it carries out the action selected under Secondary action.
Note
An automatic repair is recommended, but means that the Guard modifies files on the
workstation.
delete
If this option is enabled, the file is deleted. This process is much faster than "overwrite
and delete".
overwrite and delete
If this option is enabled, the Guard overwrites the file with a default pattern and then
deletes it. It cannot be restored.
rename
If this option is enabled, the Guard 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.
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!
