AntiVirus scans can be very time consuming depending on how many files
and folders and drives you have it scan.
If you have a "real time" monitor running to catch anything as it
comes off the internet or from a borrowed disc or flash drive then the
scans could be a bit further apart than daily. Also, if you are very
careful about where you go on the internet and what email you open
then you could space them even further apart.
Key factors are how paranoid you are and how careful or careless you
and the other users are. So is the various other layers of security
you employ (anti-spam, firewall, anti-adware etc).
