For automatic updates, just configure the two pages of settings for update (Basic and Advanced).
For scheduling scans, only the Professional version has automatic ones. Free version is much more complicated and limited in this feature (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=3796)

I feel like a real computer dummy!
Where are these pages located? 
I just installed Avast!Home (free)

Right click the 'a' blue icon.
Choose Program Settings...

Duh, thanks, I'm kinda slow today.  I shoulda figured a right -click.
I guess uninstalling NAV and firewall and then installing ZAP and Avast!---too much inof at once, ;)
