I'm not sure my solution will be what you are looking for, but what I do is this. If I'm trying to do something and the scans are running, I shut them down from the system tray. It enables me to get things done, and the scans will run again the following day at the same time, unless I turn them off again!

Dear All I am using the latest version of Jaws 10 and Vista Business. I have AVG 8.5 Free edition. Could somebody give me good instructions how and where to switch off the daily automatic AVG scans + where and how to manually run the scans then in future. Alternatively - I assume one can set the AVG scanning for once a week or so? Where and how does one do this? Thanks.
