Stopping AVG from scanning every day.

Every day, AVG begins scanning my hard drive for viruses.
Where is the option to stop it from doing this? It always downloads a small file and always starts a scan.
This is highly annoying.

It will be in the schedule part of the main control center[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

The annoying little file it downloads everyday is the virus pattern update
Why not reschedule the test for a different time?
I have mine set to scan over tea time.....which because I'm not using the pute also means it scans a lot faster and is usually completed by the time I come back on.

You mean definitions
Anyway just double click the AVG Icon then click on scheduler then on scheduled tasks then click on "test plan in basic mode" then edit schedule and change or disable from there.0
