Primary action is the action carried out when the Guard finds a virus or an unwanted
program. If the option repair is selected but a repair of the file involved is not possible,
the action selected under Secondary action is carried out.
Note
The option Secondary action can only be selected if the option Repair was selected under
Primary action.
repair
If this option is enabled, the Guard repairs affected files automatically. If the Guard
cannot repair an affected file, it carries out the action selected under Secondary action.
Note
An automatic repair is recommended, but means that the Guard modifies files on the
workstation.
delete
If this option is enabled, the file is deleted. This process is much faster than "overwrite
and delete".
overwrite and delete
If this option is enabled, the Guard overwrites the file with a default pattern and then
deletes it. It cannot be restored.
rename
If this option is enabled, the Guard 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.
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!
Deny access
If this option is enabled, the Guard only enters the detection in the report file if the
report function is enabled. In addition, the Guard writes an entry in the Event log, if this
option is enabled.
Quarantine
If this option is enabled, the Guard moves the file to the quarantine. The files in this
directory can later be repaired or - if necessary - sent to the Avira Malware Research
Center.
Secondary action
The option Secondary action can only be selected if the option Repair 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.
delete
If this option is enabled, the file is deleted. This process is much faster than "overwrite
and delete".
overwrite and delete
If this option is enabled, the Guard overwrites the file with a default pattern and then
deletes it. It cannot be restored.
