I use McAfee Antivirus because I get it for free with my Verizon with MSN subscription, but a friend's Mcafee was expired and she wanted a free antivirus so I downloaded the free version of AVG for her, updated it, and ran a scan. Does anyone know if you can set the free version up to check automatically for updates, and also to run scheduled scans in the background like I do with McAfee? If you can, can you tell me how to get to where you schedule the automatic scans....like where you put in what time you want it to do a scan.
 
1/. Right click AVG Sys Tray icon, select Launch AVG Test Centre, click Scheduler, highlight Update Plan in basic mode, click edit schedule, select update times

2/. Right click AVG Sys Tray icon, select Launch AVG Test Centre, click Scheduler, highlight Test plan in basic mode, click edit schedule, select desired scan time.
 
ok,,thanks...i saved your directions, and i'll mess with that next time i'm over there.
