scheduled scan

Hi to you all. I have recently installed Avast 4 (am more than happy with it) & wondered if it is possible to schedule a scan, ie every monday at 17:00 Hrs. I have tried using “scheduled tasks” in windows ME, it bought up the splash screen at the time set, but I still have to be at the computer to select discs & press the go button. can anyone help. Thanks.

I think your problem is with executable you are scheduling. Try to schedule ashQuick.exe with path to directories to be scanned - it should meet your needs.

If you are using Professional Edition, you can schedule avast! task in directly in enhanced user interface of avast!
