We're sorry to hear that, Jeanne.

Please repair your AVG Internet Security as mentioned in this article & delete all the scans you've created till date.
Once you've performed the above steps, restart your computer once & create a new scheduled scan, check for the issue.
Keep us updated.

I've completed the Repair, but I cannot figure out or find in FAQs how to "delete all the scans (I have) created to date." There is no "delete" function I can find for the scans.

I tried the AVG Support page, but it's under construction today? Please reply with instructions. Thanks!

I've set a Scheduled Scan I call "daily scan" for every day at 2AM.  (02:00).  However, it starts up without warning at various times during the day -- today, for example, at 12:21. Yesterday around 11:00. Some days later in the day.

I don't want it to run while I am working. Why won't it run when I tell it to run?
