Although I see a few references to Avast in the ongoing AVG8 thread, I don't want to hijack the thread with my own Avast query. I noticed a comment on that thread about setting up an automated scheduled scan for Avast.
My question relates to when I carry out a manual scan with Avast. Each time it comes across a possible Trojan or Virus, instead of storing them until the end of the scan, Avast constantly interrupts me by asking each time, what I want to do with that particular threat. Is there a way of setting up the scan so that I can analyse the various threat when the scan is completed, as used to happen with my AVG scans?
I meant to add that Avast tells me that I have "Resident Protection", which, I think, means that Avast is working in the background continuously. If this is the case, do I need separate scans, either manual or automated. (Ive always found that it tells me that I have onre or two Trojans when I scan!)
