Hi Sue, It sounds like you are figuring out the program. One thing I might suggest is that when you perform your periodic scans that you use the quick scan feature. You can check any file you download as Avast adds a scan choice to the right-click context menu in Windows. If you download a file, move focus on to the file name in the downloaded location and press the application key. Use down arrow to find the scan choice and press enter. Avast is auto-protecting your system, so I think that most times when running manual scans the "quick scan" choice is ample. You can always perform a thorough scan on a less frequent basis.
Take care.
