Avg unlimited tune up

Hello Frank,
I understand the inconvenience caused. The first time defragmentation will take some time to complete. The time is taken for defragmentation also depends on space used on your hard disk.
You can skip the defragmentation option in Maintenance scan by going to AVG PC TuneUp->Maintenance settings icon(gear wheel icon) in Maintenance tab->1-click maintenance tab->uncheck 'Defragment disk' option and click 'apply' to save changes. Once you are done with that, you can also defragment by going to All functions tab in AVG PC TuneUp->Hard disks-> Defragment disk. It will show the estimated time and progress of defragmentation.
Best regards,
Alok.

How do I stop Avg unlimited tune up & possibly avg antivirus from scanning,defragmenting,etc my external drives ? Especially my automatic tune up wants to defragment my external drives which last time ran over 12 hours every time it’s runs 
thanks
