I have just got my computer up and running. So far, AVG Free 8.0 is working fine. From what I remember during installation, it wasn't an option to schedule updates... only to schedule scans. In this area, there was only the choice for daily scans. But, when I opened the program after installation, I looked, and the update manager is able to schedule on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I don't think it has an option to scan everytime the computer starts, atd. So, the options are there, but they continue to take options away as a way to get you to buy the 'paid' versions.
