Sure…

Scheduling the Boot Time Scan

Click on the Menu button.
Choose Schedule Boot Time Scan.
Doing so displays a dialog allowing you to schedule virus scanning.
Check Archives, if you want scan all the archives.
Specify whether all the disks or just a specific folder should be scanned.
Select Advanced options for scheduling details.
Select how to automatically process infected files (suggestion: send to Chest)
Choose how to automatically process infected system files (suggestion: ignore/do nothing)
Click the Schedule button to confirm the settings.

It does depend on what your Operating system is - If you have XP, vista32bit or Win2k, you could enable a boot time scan.
Right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, a memory scan will take place followed by the opening of the Simple User Interface, Menu, ‘Schedule boot-time scan…’

Follow Tech additional steps for advanced options if you need.

Or see this explanation with images http://www.digitalred.com/avast-boot-time.php.

I don’t understand the Schedule Boot-Time Scan is in both menu lists ?

Or are you saying clicking on it doesn’t work ?

My listings are the same as yours for clicking the Menu or right clicking the skin, clicking the Schedule Boot-Time Scan option pops-up the Boot-Time scan settings for either method of getting the menu list.

Two menus seems identical… Is that the first does not work? ???

Its all right we know how to do that and since you have done the boot-time scan you obviously did it right.

Bob is reporting something he thinks is different and we are trying to ask what is different.

If I would have put my glasses on, Mybe I would have seen that the option is listed in both. ;D :-[ :-[ :-[ ;D
I’m amending my post. Sorry
