13.5.Scan Scheduling

With AVG 8.5 Internet Security you can run scanning on demand (for instance when

you suspect an infection has been dragged to your computer) or based on a scheduled

plan. It is highly recommended to run the scans based on a schedule: this way you

can make sure your computer is protected from any possibility of getting infected, and

you will not have to worry about if and when to launch the scan.

You should launch the Scan whole computer regularly, at least once a week.

However, if possible, launch the scan of your entire computer daily - as set up in the

scan schedule default configuration. If the computer is "always on" then you can

schedule scans out of working hours. If the computer is sometimes switched off, then

schedule scans to occur on a computer start-up when the task has been missed.

To create new scan schedules, see the AVG scanning interface and find the bottom

section called Schedule scans:
