I believe that there is a scheduled scan which I must have set up on my PC previously, which shuts down my PC when completed. This is inconvenient and I now want to change it. There is a Help file page which states that this is possible, but which is not much help otherwise on how to do it. I have been looking for a “Scheduling” tab within Settings and elsewhere without much success. Can someone please let me know what the secret is and where to find it. I am using Avast Free with Windows XP. Thanks
The tab is in the settings of every particular scan.
You will have to go into what ever scan you created and untick the shut down system after scan finishes
Found it thanks. I forgot that I had got a separate Quick Scan scheduled and within that the shutdown box was ticked. Now unticked. Easy when you know how …
