I am having similar problems with scheduling. I schedule the scan for 3am and the only time it comes on is when i open my laptop to use in the morning which causes my computer to drag when i need to use it. i have asked tech support and they gave me the same old “uninstall and reinstall” and nothing changed. I have checked all my settings to wake up my machine when its sleeping and that didn’t do anything either. I am so frustrated that I will not be renewing my avast license(s) this time.

Avast designed a beautiful webpage that in my experience is absolutely useless when you want to find information or change settings.

Tech support doesn’t seem all that interested in my situation but I am sure their competitors are interested in my business!
