I thought you could schedule scans but to be honest is it necessary these days anyway as the real time scanning of every file accessed/created would surely cover things anyway.

Apparently you have to manually scan your computer using AVAST. However, the updates are done automatically by default.

Hi everyone. I currently have AVG on one computer and Avast on the other.
I'm not sure which one I'm going to end up going with, but my question is
about Avast. How do you go about scheduling Avast antivirus to scan your
computer at the same time every day? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Geoff
