Nothing stopping you take advantage of the avast screensaver scan.

No idea what you mean by other tasks, not many avast tasks that aren't already automated.

You set up the Wait delay on your windows display properties for the Screen Saver, avast won't start until the screen saver starts.

You then use the Settings button to set the other avast screen saver settings (limited).

I appreciate that, but why reinvent the wheel if you can use something already in existence.
