From: "Geo" 

I actually like the stay out of my face - ness of it. I hate when alarms
start going off just because a file has been transferred to the disk, it's
not doing anything so why do I need to address it now.

I don't recall if I was using the paid or free version but when I would do
a full system scan it would show "VIRUS FOUND" in the scan window
and when the scan was done it would ask me how I wanted to handle the
infected files. If it's not doing that for you, maybe something is turned
off or maybe they changed the free version in v7.
