Is it possible, and if so how, to let Avast deal with virii during a scan on
its own, rather than stop all activity until I have decided how to proceed
after each discovery?

dangerous, dangerous, dangerous... have you never heard of a false
alarm? imagine what would happen if avast happened to false alarm on a
critical file and you set it up to *automagically* deal with the
situation...

you seem to want an 'install and forget' solution - there ain't no such
thing...

Fair point. I shall consider myself suitably admonished.
