AVG Scanning

Scanning is a crucial part of AVG 8.5 Free functionality. You can run on-demand

tests or schedule them to run periodically at convenient times.

9.1. Scanning Interface

The AVG scanning interface is accessible via the Computer Scanner quick link. Click

this link to switch to the Scan for threats dialog. In this dialog you will find the

following:

 overview of predefined scans - two types of test (defined by the software

vendor) are ready to be used immediately on demand or scheduled. Within

AVG 8.5 Free you can launch the following two scans: Scan of whole

computer, and Scan of specific files or folders.

 scan scheduling section - where you can define new tests and create new

schedules as needed. However, within AVG 8.5 Free you can only define one

scheduled scan - you can change its settings but you cannot add new

scheduled scans. If you would like to have the option of adding new scheduled

scans, please see www.avg.com for information on AVG full version.
