Hello Jamie,
I can understand your concern on AVG scan. Please be informed that when you initiate AVG scan first time in your computer, it will check all the files. When you scan your computer for second time, it will skip the unchanged files to save the scanning speed and time. If any file is modified, then it will scan that file and add to white list, next time when you scan, this file will be automatically skipped. This is the normal behavior of AVG scan technique.

I've just noticed AVG Free is skipping the scanning files phase.
it scans the browsers, then begins the usually long sequence of scanning every file. This is over in a matter of a few minutes now, claiming there's no problems and moving onto performance problems.
Asking it to scan the C: files manually results in the expected time spent on it.
Is this a new feature - skipping unchanged files since last scan maybe. A problem I might have alone? Or should we keep an eye on what exactly AVG does and doesn't do now?
