Warning
If Real-Time Protection is set to Scan when writing, the affected file is not
written.
Secondary action
The option Secondary action can only be selected if the Repair option 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 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 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.
Deny access
If this option is enabled, the affected file is not written; the Real-Time Protection only
enters the detection in the report file if the report function is enabled. In addition, the
Real-Time Protection writes an entry in the Event log, if this option is enabled.
Note
If you have selected Delete or Overwrite and delete as the primary or
secondary action, please note: In the case of heuristic hits, the affected files are
not deleted, but are instead moved to quarantine.
