Example:
It is not appropriate to call the scan by the name of "New scan" or "My
scan" since these names do not refer to what the scan actually checks. On the other
hand, an example of a good descriptive name would be "System areas scan" etc. Also

of the computer or just a scan of selected files or folders - your own scans will
always be a specific version of the
scan of selected files or folders
.
In this dialog you can further define the following parameters of the scan:
Schedule running

),
or possibly by defining an event that the scan launch should be associated with (
Action based on computer startup
).
Advanced schedule options
This section allows you to define under which conditions the scan should/should not
be launched if the computer is in low power mode or switched off completely.

AVG system tray icon

menu where you can decide to pause or even stop the running scan, and also change
the priority of the currently running scan:
