User manual

Control button referring to editing of pre-set scans:

 Add scan schedule - (deactivated) - within AVG 8.5 Free there is only one

scheduled scan available. You can edit its configuration but you cannot add

your own new scheduled scans. If you feel limited by this settings, you might

want to consider upgrade to AVG full version (www.avg.com).

 Edit scan schedule - press this button to switch to the Settings for

Scheduled Scan interface where you can edit some parameters of the default

scan schedule.

 Delete scan schedule - (deactivated) - this button is deactivated as well

since the only pre-set schedule cannot be deleted.

General control buttons available within the testing interface are the following:

 Scan history - displays the Scan results overview dialog with the entire

history of scanning

 View Virus Vault - opens a new window with the Virus Vault - a space where

detected infections are quarantined

9.2. Predefined Scans

One of the main features of AVG is on-demand scanning. On-demand tests are

designed to scan various parts of your computer whenever suspicion of possible virus

infection arises. Anyway, it is strongly recommended to carry out such tests regularly

even if you think that no virus can be found on your computer.

In the AVG 8.5 Free you will find two types of scanning predefined by the software

vendor:

9.2.1. Scan Whole Computer

Scan whole computer - scans your entire computer for possible infections and/or

potentially unwanted programs. This test will scan all hard drives of your computer,

will detect and heal any virus found, or remove the detected infection to the Virus

Vault. Scanning of the whole of your computer should be scheduled on a workstation

at least once a week.
