This does not appear to be possible in the current version for macOS.  I was able to get around this by removing previously created scheduled scans without using the user interface and then recreate each of them.

I did so by performing the following steps:

  1. Open AVG Internet Security
  2. Click on the "three dots" next to the Scan Now button
  3. Cancel any scans that are currently running
  4. Delete the following folder:
    • /Library/Application Support/AVGAntivirus/config/service-data/scheduled-scans
  5. Reboot Mac
  6. Open AVG Internet Security and recreate your custom scheduled scans

I have created a Scheduled Scan in AVG Internet Security for Mac (paid version) and I would like to edit the settings.  Unfortunately, the only option on this screen is to "Scan Now," so I am wondering how to edit the settings for this scan.  Also, how would I delete it?

I apologize in advance if this was asked previously… I was unable to find a reference to a similar question in the forums.

Thanks!
