I am at a DOD installation and we are testing different Anti-Spyware
solutions. It is now Windows Defender's time up to bat. The install went
fine, but the updates did not work. We then "authorized" the Windows Defender
updates on our WUS server they started working great. Then we noticed that
the Automatic Scans were not occuring, at any interval, but the scan would
work fine when launched manually. I found a Defender thread which mentioned
the Task Scheduler service. DOD regulations mandate is that this service will
always be disabled, so I belive that is why the Automatic Scans are not
occuring. But........ in the heart of testing I re-enabled the service and
turned off and back on the automatic scanning, but the product is still not
scanning automatically. I used AT and WinAT to check for any scheduled tasks,
but there are none. How do I get Windows Defender to automatically scan our
systems?
Thank you.
