Yes, I agree. I think scheduled scans are done for business purposes who has to leave their computers on overnight for maintenance, for example. Just my L0.02 worth.

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.Peter -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jane Withers" <pitre4@xxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 9:27 PM To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Question About Avast AntivirusApparently you have to manually scan your computer using AVAST. However, the updates are done automatically by default.----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Connor" <gjconnor@xxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 11:08 AM Subject: Question About Avast AntivirusHi 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 isabout 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 No virus found in this outgoing message.
