I think I finally did this annoying thing of rescheduling AVG to scan when I wanted it to and not every day! This will be an important plug for the Jaws users site to grab anything off there when you find it as it might not be there again. I had copied some steps on performing this action for the freeby version of AVG awhile back knowing I probably was going to be using it and I wanted all the help I could get. So here is the copied steps for anyone's use...
AVG Free version: 7.1.385 will run a virus scan on your computer Daly at 8:00 AM by default. However, if you would like to change the test time, it can be changed by performing the following steps. Changing the AVG virus scan schedule: 1. Open AVG Free, tab to the scheduler button and then tap the spacebar. 2. You now should be on a combo box with two choices. Up arrow to (Test plan in basic mode), tab to the edit schedule button and then tap the spacebar. 3. You now should be on the (Periodically start scheduled antivirus test) check box, if this check box is not checked, use the spacebar to check it. 4. Now Tab once to the schedule time combo box and use your up or down aero to choose the time of day you would like AVG to scan your computer for viruses, tab to the OK button and then tap enter. AVG now will automatically run a virus scan at the appointed time. You can also set AVG free to update at a desired time by performing the following steps. This will make sure your AVG virus definitions are up to date. Changing the AVG update schedule: 1. Open AVG Free, tab to the scheduler button and then tap the spacebar. 2. You now should be on a combo box with two choices. Use Up and down arrow and be sure (update plan in basic mode) is selected, tab to the edit schedule button and then tap the spacebar. 3. You now should be on the (Periodically check for Internet updates) check box. If this check box is not checked, use the spacebar to check it. 4. Now tab once to the (Check daily between) combo box and use you're up or down aero to choose the time of day you would like your computer to check for updates. 5. tab once to the (If Internet connection is not available, check when it goes on-line) check box, if it is not checked use the spacebar to check it, tab to the OK button and then tap enter. Your AVG definitions will now automatically be updated at the appointed time. Note- If your computer is not on at the appointed update time, or connected to the internet via a broadband connection AVG will update the next time you connect to the internet. Close Window **a note...since I am using the paid version 7.5 the menus are slightly different, but it's still basically the same and spacebar for me anyways first opening the scheduling area didn't work so I pressed the enter key and that did it.** Oh so nice to turn on my computer and not have to wait or have things running slower while the annoying scan the computer ran that AVG thinks it has to do every dern day!
