Yes you can change the time that it runs. Go to your programs menu and go
to AVG press enter. Go to Control Center. Press enter again arrow down
once and you will land on a schedule task button and press your space bar on
this button. At this point you make your time change. I knew it could be
done being my sighted son set this setting for me. Good luck.

I dont' think my Free Edition can have its ctime changed. I looked at the control center menus and this doesn't seem possible.

Why don't you schedule AVG so it runs at a time that you aren'ta on the computer. I've used this same program for many years and haven't had any problems. I have the scan to run about 2 o'clock in the morning when I'm not on my computer.Your Friend Dave

Cy, I'm a longtime user of AVG Free Edition, and I certainly haven't had any virus hassles all this time, and I'm not about to try another such program. But I have to say that while it's running its morning scan of my hard drive, which takes it more than 25 minutes, it slows down things just terribly. I'm partially sighted, so I can see that things on the screen are responding more or less normally to commands I may key in, and I suspect that if I'm typing an email or something that my typing is also appearing on the screen as it should. But Jaws is really crippled by having to operate at this time. I press a key, and it may be 20 seconds before Jaws speaks what I've just done, whether it's a letter I've typed or a control key I've pressed to execute something.
as soon as AVG finishes its scan, it puts up a closing dialogue that
reports
the scan's activities and results, and allows me to close the dialogue if
I
don't want to wait 30 seconds for it to close itself. I generally close
it
so I can go on using the computer immediately without that dialogue
getting
in Jaws's way or my accidentally hitting a key that activates some control
in the dialogue and screws things up.
Anyway, I've learned to just go make another cup of coffee and listen to
some radio news during this time, and I can live with that. But just to
chime in. and of course, this isn't about Jaws itself slowing down
things,
so I'll change the subject line.

How can I test if it is Norton without getting a virus in the process of no antivirus software? Jeanette

Well, my immediate reaction is to suggest that you replace Norton with something good that'll actually get the job done and not cost you so much in the performance department, but I understand that might not be a viable option for you. At which point, I'm afraid, you're out of luck.

hmmm, what version of windows are you running? 98? XP? XP cleans up after itself pretty well I've had it on this work computer for over 2 years and everything still runs fairly well. I've had xp on my home computer for 4 years and it is starting to slow down quite a bit. 3 or 4 minutes at bootup.
98SE didn't clean house very well and can drasticly slow down after a year or 2
other things you might think about, is getting a cleaner for ad aware, spy ware, etc. Defragging all that fun stuff.

What else could cause computers to be slow? I have alot of memory and ram so It should not be slow but it is. Jeanette ----- Original Message ----- From: <mailto:james@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:james@xxxxxxxxxxx>James> >JamesTo: <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Well, it's no secret JFW can at times be resource intensive. But, somehow, I doubt the performance hit you take running it will be very much different from if you didn't have it running. Particularly on today's computers. I've run several processes I know full well are more resource intensive than JFW, and this computer's nothing special, but it was still fairly fast all things considered.
