 * Hi,
    the latest scan has found about 20 malware files. In order to delete them,
   I have to delte each individual file, followed by a new malware scan. Obviously
   this whole process takes a long time.
 * My questions:
    1. Is there a way of ticking all the malware files and having 
   them deleted all at once? 2. Can I choose to have them deleted as soon as they
   are found, at least with the False Positive: 0/100 flag? 3. if not, at least 
   1)
 * PS: I really like the pro version of the plugin!
 * regards, Oliver

 * Hi Oliver,
 * Good to hear that you like the Pro version of the plugin. 🙂
 * Regarding your questions,
 * 1. This isn’t possible at the moment. But, this is something that was requested
   by the other Shield users as well. We plan to add this functionality for one 
   of the feature releases.
 * 2. You can set scanner(s) to delete the infected files automatically for you.
   The settings can be found under the Hack Guard module => File Scans and Malware
   => Automatic File Repair:

 * Which files were deleted can be seen in your audit trail.
 * Hope this helps.
 * Let us know if you have any additional questions on this matter.
 * Thanks.
 * Jelena
