how do you schedule scans

How do you schedule a scan to run on certain times, days, etc.

Just use the taskmanager :smiley:

are you using the home or pro edition…scheduled scans only available in the pro version

As Artras suggested, you can use taskmanager. I am guessing you are using the Home version.

I do not remember the exact set-up, but, if you use the Search button (at the top of each page) and search for … schedule scans … you should find some posts about doing this.

I hope this helps you. :slight_smile:

shgoh is fully right… this is a Pro version feature.
On Home version, use task manager to schedule: ashQuick.exe file from avast folder. You cannot use parameters :-
In Pro version you can have both Windows and Command-line possibilities (ashCmd.exe) 8)

I have the home edition of avast and windows xp pro

So… :cry:
the avast free version has a lot of features but this one is reserved to the pro (paid) version.
