sleep mode is turned off, only thing that happens is Monitor shuts down from PC after 15min, that kind of a screen save mode
-
it should run awry week this day,
i guess you mean evry day this week ..... anyway, instead of shedule evryday why not activate screensaver scan, then you dont have to think about it
-
its not awry day, once a week, awry week this day, i don't remember what day it is today in English, i go afk awry time 18:30 & i return 20:00 & it does scan awry time, but 1 time it skips, i have the issue sins upgraded to avast 2015 free version, example its set to awry Monday, at first i had a second issue, it was delayed, sometimes it scanned 19:48 even, that seems to have been fixed, but skipping issue still exists, its not huge issue, but still its a issue
-
i don't remember what day it is today in English
Monday ;)
-
new its suddenly started scanning, its 21:28 new, scheduled scan is really bugged, seems that the delay bug isn't fixed neither, it just hasn't happened long time

did that, but i guess i will see within 3 month did it fix it or not
after repair & restart i opened avast & schedule was same, it did not reset it, default was schedule turned off, so i doubt it had any effect. but only future can tel

A repair fixes the install and shouldn't affect your personal settings.

interesting thing, i got Win update (i have it sins morning 10am something 29.04.2015, new its next day 1:32am & i just installed update 1:10am) & after restart, when i open TaskManager i don't see NGservice nor VirtualBox running, is TaskManager bugged? i heard VirtualBox is critical process (important), event log does not show issue with avast & no error report neither, what does it mean? that it works & its not showing in Task Manager?
i meant avast virtualbox interface ofc
-
i ask cause this processes were running before from start-up until shutdown & awry day, this were listed in taskmanager, or was that before wrong? i mean a glitch?
-
Reboot again.

Reboot again.
Did that, do they half to run like they did? i mean all the time like i explained, does it lower my PC security that the 2 are not running?

If you want total protection I would advise to have all three shields running. They work as needed, for instance you move or open a file
then the file shield will scan that file. Or when you visit a website then the web shield will scan. The mail shield only works with certain
email clients. However if you use a web based email then the web shield will do the scanning. I only use web based email services, Yahoo,
Gmail and Outlook.com, but I keep the mail shield installed. So for me all the mail shield does is take up a tiny miniscule of HDD space and
let the web shield protect me. But if I decide to use Outlook or Thunderbird the mail shield is already up and running.

looking at from Avast all shields seem active, how are shields connected to the 2 processes i mentioned?
WTF i so that new version is out sins 21 & its 30 new & i did not get update notification, so far i have always got notifications, i so its out only cause i opened Avast to look are are shields active

NG services right now are not running for anyone. Avast is solving a problem and stated
that the service should be back by next Mon. (Sorry can't find the link to their post at the moment)

OK i was thinking that they don't work cause of a bug or win glitch, that win update messed something up, so NG is controlled from outside my PC by 3th party (Avast team)? like there is NG server & if that is shut down then NG in PC shuts down to?
same issue with virtualbox interface for all?

Are you sure you have the free version and not a trial version?
Look at the top of the "overview" screen. It should look like this.

It doesn't turn on till you ask it to turn on. In the free version, you have a three day trial.
After that trial, you'll need to pay for the service if you want to continue to use it. :)
Even after you pay for it, it only runs when you start it. I only start it when I'm away from home and on
public (open) wifi.
Check your settings there are some options that make using it on the road easier.

well i use free ware, when it comes to programs, but when its turned on under setting=tools, does it matter, does it take ram when its Disconnected under tools?
i mean does it matter that it is turned on or off under settings=tools?
i don't have laptop, Alienware x51 R2, so its always at home, i was just curious about secureline

It isn't on by default. If you don't want it at all, simply remove it by making a change in the avast installation.

i can also simply turn it of from here?

the other things on the list are active in free version?
as the things currently are does it use ram, or it won't until i connect it from tools?

They are tools. They aren't resident and will only resources when you use the selected tool.

I noticed in a screenshot he has 3 days left on a trial version.

If you expect answers and help from us about your problems and concerns, than you can at least give us update information from your computer.
Without that, this is more of a phishing trip than a request for help. :(

it is no problem cause i explained the difference, cause the only important part was above the TXT about trial, the part where the connect button in the picture is, so i don't need picture from my pc from my avast cause only difference was that i don't have that TXT about trial & i explained it, not my fault if people don't read my full post or don't pay attention to details about what i write (i wrote stuff above the picture just to avoid misunderstandings like this one), its a hassle to upload pictures, so if i can find 99% identical picture to my avast online i use it. that's why i recommend that Avast team add a new option for picture upload so user's can upload pictures here directly from PC with out that [ img ][ /img ] stuff
also i already got my answer before he mentioned that trial, it was nice of him, but it wasn't my screen shot from where he so that TXT about Trial, ofc i don't know was he talking about screenshot i posted

Always post a screenshot from "your" computer. A random screenshot proves absolutely nothing.
A random screenshot is not pertinent to your issue on your computer.
Please provide screenshots from your machine. Until you do we are only guessing.
Explaining is not the same as showing. Give us some proof!

do u see much difference between the 2?
i posted random picture cause only part that was important was this
(http://i.imgur.com/aQccsQv.jpg?1)
& i explained this, i mean i said that this part is important
so why do i need to make my own screenshot when i get 99% same picture from internet? i would not mind doing so if i could upload picture here from my PC like in Microsoft forum, cause there is no option for that i sometimes use random picture from internet, if i find almost matching picture... from internet, this time it was just that 1 picture that was random...

Because it "isn't" exactly the same. And that still isn't a screenshot from you machine.
How do I know? Let's see if you can figure it out.
If you want help please provide "accurate" information including "real" screenshots.
