Let me try again.

AVG gives you 3 means of scanning:

1. On demand.
2. Scheduled.
3. Real-time.

You disabled (2).  You did not disable (3).  That is why, when you access
something infected, you get the pop-up.

In AVG 7 to disable real-time scanning, you must do this:

1. Double-click the AVG tray icon.
2. Click AVG Resident Shield, and then click the Properties button.
3. Un-check "turn on AVG resident shield protection"

"scheduled real time scan" is an oxymoron.

real time scanning is not scheduled.  It is continuous.

sorry i beg to differ
when i had my avg set up to start a system scan at at 14:00 it would scan
every file on my system -- i have eicar test files planted on each drive  to
check the operation and would get popups saying it had detected them
now that i have scheduled scans disabled i do not get popups
yet it is still active -- as i said in my original post i cannot extract
from an infected zip
