I've had Spyware for 3/4 weeks now..And I like it a lot.
But I've set the scheduler to work many times, with out
any success..The only way to get start a scan is
manually...There is obviously a fault in the program
which Microsoft needs to know about.. But there is no
customer support line or email for this/or is there? Any
one have the same problems or have a solution?

The scheduler does not work for me either. Initialy i
thought that it was because the time to run was 02:00:00
am and the PC was neve on at that time. I expected the
process to run as soon as the computer was powerd on that
day, but that did not happen. Afterwards i set the time
to 10:00:00 am, but the program now says:
"Current scheduled spyware scan runs at:
112:00 AM every day"
I hope that someone at Microsoft reads this and corrects
the problem.

The scheduler does function, for some people, sometimes! This is a known
issue and is being fixed.

In particular, the 10:00 issue, and all times between noon and 1 (and maybe
midnight and 1 AM as well?) are known issues.

I've had mine set to 5:05 pm and 11:11 pm, and both of these have worked
most of the time.

It would not surprise me to hear that some installs it just plain doesn't
work at all--if that's the case, I would urge a control panel, add or
remove programs, Microsoft Antispyware, change, update cycle to see
whether that helps.

I have several W2K machines that I have tried to set a
weekly scan. The scheduler will not save this setting and
simply reverts back to the daily scan. I have a forth
machine that does accept this change.
