The default settings are for daily scans of everything (i.e. full scan), but it is possible to limit it to running scans say once a week, and you can set it to run a fast scan instead of a full scan which should reduce the time significantly.

I have set up my virus scans to scan at 3am. Usually finished by 4am. Is there not an option in your AVG to set it to do it during the night?

There is Matthew but I can speak from experience that the vast majority of users turn their PCs off at night - leaving us nasty planet polluters to do the other thing
