Hi julie,
Here is further information regarding Avast.
Avast tech support suggests that full scans are rarely necessary because
The Avast program uses the so called on-access or
resident protection. Avast will check any files at the moment they are
accessed to ensure they are free from infection. If anything suspicious is
detected, the file will not be opened, thus preventing any potential virus
from being activated, and the file will be reported as potentially
containing an infection. There may be certain times when you may want to run
a manual scan, for example when avast is first installed to ensure there are
no infections in your legacy (existing) files, or if the resident protection
is ever turned off for any reason.
Essentially, once avast is installed, it is immediately providing you with
virus protection through the resident protection feature and you don't need
to do anything else.
Roger
