Hello ;D

Well, you should schedule the boot-time scan when you have problems with viruses in your memory or when you have troubles with removing viruses in Windows environment :wink:
For everything else you can use the Simple User Interface :wink:

  1. you are posting in a topic from 2006 :wink:

do you have a problem since you want to run boot scan ?

[b] Important:[/b] Please be advised, that the Boot-time scan is an advanced and purposeful feature designed to be used [b]only [/b]when there’s something bad going on the system, and usually takes some time before it finishes. That's why it cannot be scheduled to run every time the computer starts, but as needed only.

I might add, a boot scan should only be used if after running a “regular” scan avast
recommends running a boot scan. Personally I haven’t ran a boot scan in years.
