Primary action
Primary action is the action performed when the Real-Time 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 Real-Time Protection repairs affected files automatically. If
the Real-Time 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 Real-Time Protection
modifies files on the workstation.
Rename
If this option is enabled, the Real-Time 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 Real-Time 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.
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 Real-Time Protection overwrites the file with a default
pattern and then deletes it. It cannot be restored.
