Avast Automator Extension

I wrote this extension to drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to perform system scans and updates when using Avast Business. It allows the user to automatically select the scan now or update now buttons on the page and then clicks them. It then generates a report of the workstations that have not been scanned for a specified amount of time.
