Hello!
I installed avast! 4 Home Edition 2 days ago. I’m very happy 'cos it works perfectly. I think I’ve even been able to use it with emule plus. However, I have a little problem. I’m afraid that when I installed avast! they asked me if I wanted it to pass an scan when I started the laptop, and I said yes, not having an idea that the scan could take HALF AN HOUR everytime I started the pc! So now, I would like to change that configuration in order to do it myself whenever I feel like it. Is that possible?
Thanks a million in advance.

It is a one off action, it shouldn’t run unless you schedule it again. - 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…’ Or see http://www.digitalred.com/avast-boot-time.php.
So have you booted since and does it start on subsequent boots ?
Thanks for your help, David. I didn’t expected a so quick answer 
Well, I had already tried with the instructions on the web you advised me. But, to be honest, I haven’t let the pc restart 'cos it tooks so much time… When I’ll finish with the pc tonight, I’ll let it do, to see if it works finally 
Thanks again
Like DavidR mentioned before, it runs only when you tell it to so when you restart it won’t come up again unless you scheduled it.
No problem, glad I could help.
Fast is nothing new on the avast forums ;D
