The FREE AVG perform a daily scan on my PC. Seems that I can only cancel the daily scan but I can not ask for (just an example) twice a week scan.


Is It true ???
I think there is an option to run the AVG from the scheduled tasks windows tool (AVGSCAN.exe command ) .... ? !!? Please provide me any relevant details (parameters needed ...).

Thanks

My Version is AVG FREE 7.5.519

In the simplist form:

avgscan /scan c:\ will scan your C drive

Just add the parameters you want i.e.:

avgscan /scan c:\ /ARC will scan C and also scan your archives (zip, etc)

I'm aware the 32 command given parameters !!! I do not understand lots of them !!!

To be specific: what parameter list will test my PC from the "Scheduled Task" tool exactly the same way the as AVG runs the test from within the AVG tool ??

Perhaps a better option than using the command line scanner.

Take a look at http://forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/read.php?8,48496,48496#msg-48496 for scheduling scans via Control Panel Scheduled tasks. (See post made by ErnieZ)

Just specify the command to run as:

"C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Free\avgw.exe" /test="Complete Test"

Thank You !!!!!!!!!!
