Hi,
I have just uninstalled AVG and downloaded Avast in it's place.
Cant find a way to schedule it to do a scan every day at a time that suits
me.
Can anyone put me wise how to do it. It is the free version 4 that I
downloaded into XP Home Edtn.
Cheers, Jim

I don't think you can schedule the FREE version. I have the Pro (paid)
version and you can create schedules with that version

You shouldn't have to scan your system every day. If you have the
settings to scan all files when accessed & your mail, p2p & instant
messaging turned on & high. After you scan the entire hard drive 1st, to
make sure you are virus free, you should remain virus free, & if
something does get through your setting will then be to scan when
accessed & it will find it.

Just my opinion

"C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ASHQUICK.EXE" c:\
