We use Diskeeper for defragmentation that runs automatically.  As for A/V we
use EPO and deploy scheduled scans at night.

For purposes of this question, I guess I assumed "scheduled

in downtime don't have to be scheduled.

      Does anyone schedule routine maintenance that doesn't require
downtime but happens (or should/could happen) on a routine
schedule?  I'm thinking of disk defrags, AV scans, etc.
