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 Scanner overwrites the file with a default pattern and then

deletes it. It cannot be restored.

rename

If this option is enabled, the Scanner 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!

Quarantine

If this option is enabled, the Scanner moves the file to the quarantine. These files 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 setting 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.

action, you should note the following: In the case of heuristic hits, the affected files are

not deleted, but are instead moved to quarantine.
