dialog where you can decide whether the computer should be shut down

automatically once the running scanning process is over. Having confirmed this

option (Shutdown computer upon scan completion), a new option activates that

allows the computer to shut down even if it is currently locked (Force shutdown is

Warning: These scan settings are identical to the parameters of a newly defined

scan - as described in the chapter AVG Scanning / Scan scheduling/ How to Scan.

Should you decide to change the default configuration of the Scan specific files or

template for all of your newly scheduled scans (all customized scans are based on the

current configuration of the Scan of selected files or folders).
