I leave my machines up 24x7 (I participate in the Folding @ Home
distributed computing project - see http://folding.stanford.edu ) and
schedule the auto-updates and scans to run while I'm asleep.

The bizarre thing with AVG is that by default it does it's daily scan,
waits a bit, and then searches for updates.  One would think it'd do it
the other way around - update then scan.

Lately, I've added DiskKeeper as another scheduled task to defrag my
main workstation every 3 days. Daily was overkill, but enough things
change that every 3 days is a decent schedule.
