Why do you want to run daily scans ?
You miss one important point - What avast version are you using 4.8 or 5.0 ?

avast is a resident scanner so files that are accessed or run will be scanned, so it lessens the requirement for the old style on-demand scan. The on-demand scan for the most part is going to be scanning files that would otherwise be dormant, if they were opened/run then the on-access (resident) scanners would scan them (depending on your particular settings). But avast on the default settings will scan those files considered at risk of infection, etc.

I am running 5.0  I always run a scan M-F it's the way I have always done it  and if I am wireless the scan is suspended unless I run it manually
