Can Avast4 free bet set to automatically run a scan at a given time or every so many days?
In Professional version, it’s possible - any task can be scheduled.
In the Home version, you may be able to do it using the standard Windows Scheduler…
Ah. Nice idea. I’ll try it
If I use Windows Scheduler is there a particular file I should run that will actually perform the scan rather than just start up avast?
You can use ashQuick.exe .
E.g.
ashQuick.exe C:\
would (surprisingly) scan disk C:.
Vlk
It works.
For those interested Windows Scheduler must be set up to run exactly this
“C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe” C:\
note the C:\ outside the quotation marks to scan drive C
