From the avg documentation here:

Scan process priority - you can use the slider to change the scanning process priority. By default, the priority is set to medium level (Automatic scan) that optimizes the scanning process speed and the use of system resources. Alternatively, you can run the scanning process slower which means the system resources load will be minimized (useful when you need to work on the computer but you do not care so much how long the scanning takes), or faster with increased system
