Automating NAV quarantining?

I use NAV 8.071c, part of SystemWorks 5. In Options> NAV, in the
section 'How to respond when a virus is found', there are 3 options
- Automatically repair the infected file (recommended)
- Try to repair then quarantine if unsuccessful
- Deny access to the infected file

I've had it set at the first ('recommended'), buy yesterday change to
the second, thinking that would *automatically* quarantine email (if a
repair proved unsuccessful). But I'm still being asked each time to
quarantine (and then click Finished).

With the current blitz of SWEN, I want to improve this. Have I got
something wrong here please? Is there a more automated procedure I can
configure?

Hi Terry.
All though my AV catches any and banishes them to the dungeon its still a
pain having to down load the bliters first so I have placed Mail washer on
here and by now have a filter for all of them. I can now do a periodic
deletion of them on my server. Much quicker.

Thanks Trev, reckon I'll do the same.

But if I do use NAV, is there any way to do what I described please?

Later versions of NAV provide a setting where it quarantines or deletes
silently. It's in NAV 2003, at least.
