You can also send the backup copy to the Avira Malware Research Center.
Depending on the object, more selection options are available in the Quarantine
manager.
Display detection alerts
If this option is enabled, then for each detection of a virus or unwanted program an
alert appears.
Primary action
Primary action is the action performed when the Realtime Protection finds a virus or an
unwanted program. If the "Repair" option is selected but the affected file cannot be
repaired, the action selected under "Secondary action" is performed.
Note
The Secondary action option can only be selected if the Repair setting was
selected under Primary action.
Repair
If this option is enabled, the Realtime Protection repairs affected files automatically. If
the Realtime Protection cannot repair an affected file, it carries out the action selected
under Secondary action.
Note
An automatic repair is recommended, but means that the Realtime Protection
modifies files on the workstation.
Rename
If this option is enabled, the Realtime Protection 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 Realtime Protection moves the file to Quarantine. The files
in this directory 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.
