Are you running the free home version or the commercial version?

The free version checks for updates every day. The commercial version checks every hour, IIRC.

You also might open the AVG Interface panel and look through the options/preferences under Tools >> Advanced Settings to see if there is anything running.

I'm running the free version but I go into it twice a day and change the scheduled scanning time so it doesn't scan everyday, only when I want it too.

Advanced Settings to see if there is anything running.

Thank you. I'll go see.

It took me a minute to write it down.

I did what you said and here's what I got...

Balloon Tray Notifications...
Display system tray notifications.
Display tray notification about update
Display tray notification about scanning
Display resident shield related tray notifications (automatic action)
Display state change notification [this one is unchecked]
Display E-mail scanner related tray notifications

They are all checked except the State change notification. Does that help?
