By reversing any schedule created in the scans, avast doesn't just up and do a scheduled scan it has to be user set.

You don't say which scan is being done, Quick or Full System or Custom scan ?
Enter the Scan Computer, The particular scan being run, Expert settings, Scheduling, and remove the schedule. See image example of my Full System Scan Schedule.

Where are you getting the information that these scans have run ?

Can you post the header information of the daily scan/s.
