My question is, why didn't the antivirus automatically remove the malware with no prompt. I could understand a 'scan' as being a user prompt, but not removal. Typical PC users usually click the X to close software assuming it is unimportant (what happened in the above situation). I know it may not matter because the virus is harmless sitting inactive on the hard drive, but having the WSA icon grey (!) for a long period of time is not reassuring either to the average/advanced user.
Is this prompt and removal how WSA operates when 'some' detections are found or did I miss something?
Thanks!
