scheduling scan with free edition

[sometime]

I have looked at the post for scheduling scans Am I missing something somewhere ? when I go to the part to browse c/prog filed I can get to avast 4 but the only ashquick I can see in there is the ashquick module not ashquick exe

sometime,

Once you open the Program Files, go to Alwil Software and then just click on the Avast folder.  It is listed as ashquick.exe

If you click on any other folder, you will not see it.

Scheduling of scans is only in the Pro paid for version. In the home version you can use the task scheduler and ashquick.exe as you have already found. There are however, few options on how to deal with a virus should it encounter one.

When I click on ashquick.exe, a window opens and closes immediately, before I can read what it say.  It does not look as if it checks for viruses, since it all happens too fast.

Ofcourse it closes immediatly. You have not specified what to scan.
