"AVG free edition does have a scan scheduler and it works"

knowing that an av program missed six viruses and gave seven false positives is a whole lot more important to me then not knowing whether that same program has a scan scheduler.

reason i say this is because i don't use scan schedulers.

if your point is that this scan scheduler oversight casts doubt on the validity of the virus submission tests, i can't say that i agree with that.
