8. AVG AntiVirus for Mac Preferences
This dialog allows you to modify all adjustable settings of your AVG AntiVirus for Mac. To access it, open
the AVG AntiVirus for Mac menu in the task bar and select Preferences.
Preferences contain the following pages:
General
Scanning
Quarantine
Exceptions
8.1. General
The adjustable options are as follows:
Move all threats to quarantine – when this box is checked, all threats found during scanning will be
automatically moved to Quarantine, which is the safest option. Files are kept in Quarantine for up to
30 days; during this time, you can either restore the files to the original location, or delete them
forever. Please note that this option only applies to Mac Scanner and File Scanner, not to Realtime
Protection.
Show AVG AntiVirus icon in the task bar – shows (or hides) the icon in the task bar. This icon
offers convenient access to instant scan, update and to the application interface, and also indicates
the background protection status.
I'd like to help AVG improve its products – anonymous data about detected threats will be silently
sent to AVG ThreatLabs, which will help our malware researchers react swiftly to the latest threats
and make AVG protection even more effective.
