To launch AVG scan from the command line, run the following command within the folder where AVG is installed (typically C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8):

I've been following this thread with interest. As a result I have replaced AVG with Avast on my test machine to see what it is like. I like the comfort of a scan, currently scheduled for noon with AVG, but it does tend to get in the way. I have a .CMD script which I run last thing at night when I switch the machines off. It copies the drive contents to an external hard drive using Robocopy then shuts the machine down. It would be convenient to run the scan then shut down - does anyone know if there any way I can run an AVG (or Avast) scan from the command line so that I can include it in my script?
