Troy,
The first important thing would be to distinguish between AVG running its
daily virus scan, which in fact can take a long time--it takes half an hour
on my system-- and actually slow down and interrupt your computer's
functioning, especially Jaws, very seriously, and AVG simply updating, which
means downloading and installing the new definition files, which takes it
only a minute or so and, except for interrupting you for a second when the
notice comes up telling you that it's doing the download, and a moment later
telling you that it's done, is no big problem at all.
So, which are you talking about? The virus scan or the daily update?
Again, the update is a very small, very quick process. Not so the daily
virus scan.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
For anybody who uses the free edition of AVG antivirus, I installed it over
the weekend and I'm trying to figure out how to change the time that it
automatically updates itself because right now it is doing it while I'm
trying to work and is interrupting me.
Somebody on another list told me to go into the control center and I did
that and hit the scheduler button and found a list of times, but although I
thought I had changed the update time to 3:00 in the afternoon I didn't, it
just updated itself again just a few minutes ago.
Thanks in advance for any help with this.
Troy
