That is bc there is lots of things not necessary to scan.....

a quick scan a week is plenty....if something is detected then you can do a full
and avast will tell you when to do a boot scan....the boot scan you use when/if avast have problems removing a bug






and if you search the forum for  "scan memory"  /  "memory scan"  /  "detection in memory"   you should find lost of old cases

Oh I see! I'll remember that. I'm one of these really paranoid people who scans every day. I do a boot scan pretty regularly just to put my mind at ease. Thanks for helping me ^^

The file shield is running in the background 24/7 scanning every file that moves in the computer when you use it

- With a resident on-access antivirus like avast, the need for frequent on-demand scans is much depreciated. For the most part the on-demand scan is going to be scanning files that would be otherwise be dormant or inert. If they were active files then the on-access file system shield would be scanning them before being created, modified, opened or executed.

I have avast set to do a scheduled weekly Quick scan, set at a time and day that I know the computer will be on. If for some reason my system wasn't on, no big deal I will catch up on the next scheduled scan.

or you can activate the screen saver scan......then it will scan every time you turn your back to it.....should be good for the paranoid   ;D
if when stopped....it will start at the same place again...unless there has been a reboot
