Automatic
If this option is enabled, no dialog box in case of a virus detection appears. Real-Time
Protection reacts according to the settings you predefine in this section as primary and
secondary action.
Copy file to quarantine before action
If this option is enabled, the Real-Time Protection 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, more selection options are available in the Quarantine
manager.
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.
