The function to automatically shut down the operating system after a virus scan is not supported by Avira.
Business partners with such a requirement can use the WMI interface to trigger this function.
Be aware that the option for writing access to the WMI interface can only be activated for the Avira Antivirus Pro version.
Note
This approach is not supported by Avira. You make the modifications at your own risk.
In the attachment, you will find three example scripts for creating, starting, and deleting a scan.
- Create a profile containing a virus scan followed by a system shutdown: scheduler_create_once_an_imediate_scan_job.vbs
- Trigger the scan: scheduler_activate_this_immediate_scan_job.vbs
- Delete the profile once you no longer require the function:
scheduler_delete_this_immediate_scan_job.vbs
