Sue,

I use Avast and virus scan once a week. However, if you use the net a lot, I would probably scan for viruses twice or three times a week, depending on the amount of downloads and surfing you do..

Hi.

I've been using Avast for about a month now with Jaws 9, and I'm finally getting to grips with it. I'm just wondering how often Avast users on this list do a scan. When I go into start Avast from the desktop, I select the local folders check box, tab and make sure the slider is at 100 percent then tab to start scan. This seems to take about 3 hours but I guess that's dependant on how many files you have on a machine. I've worked out how to read the progress of the scan with the Jaws cursor which is great but I'm wondering how often to perform this action. Doing a full scan every day seems a bit excessive, but I'm wondering whether to do it weekly or monthly.

I'd like to get other users opinions on this if that's ok.

Thanks for any comments.
Sue.
