Hi Sue and List,

I scan once a week but just scan the hard drives which seems to take
about 10 minutes. I'm not as good as you as I have Avast set to scan
at 50 per cent but I think that I'll adopt your practice and set it to
100 per cent.

Its a good product.

Cheers,

Kevin
PS; I think that it would be good if all users of Avast e-mailed the
company asking them to remove the captcha on their registration page
or, alternatively provide an audio link on which blind people can
click to hear the text, from the image which you need to enter prior
to submitting the form. OK, you can e-mail Support but this is slow
and blind people should not be at a disadvantage as compared to their
non-disabled friends, colleagues etc.

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..

HTH
Jim.

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.
