'every saturday of every week at 2 am'
i leave my computer on overnight friday/saturday to run
various maintenance programs--my batch programs, symantec
stuff, backup, etc. (un-internet-connected of course)
today would have been anti-spamware's first chance to
run 'on schedule' since i installed it a week ago. (the
schedule called for it to run in its own time slot,
nothing else scheduled at that time.)

anti-spamware's summary screen shows the phrase above but
did not show a 2 am run as its 'last Scan Run'.
did it run but not update the display, or did it not run?

ps: anti-spamware is in autoscan mode.
pps: not 'LAST scan run', better to say 'LATEST scan run'.

Hi, your problem is alreay known in the Beta version,
it's a BUG! Try setting the scheduled scan TWO DAYS
AHEAD, i.e. SUNDAY 8 PM and it will run on FRIDAY 8 PM!
This is for all scans that run once-a-week! I'm having
thesame "problem" . Also, the Beta version still says
that NO SCHEDULED SCANS have run, even after months of
running weekly! There are also time-issues around
midnight and 1.00am, I've seen entries concerning
problems with scans from other users. But...I'm using
MSAS for months now, and I'm very content with it. Jan

thanks Jan for the scheduling help. my 'monday' scan ran
on saturday just fine--on my laptop but not on my desktop,
both nominally running the same version (5705, now 5707).
my laptop installation even acknowledges the scan!
my scan scheduler panel has the same settings on both
machines and has the same "every monday of every week at
2:00 AM" summary.
I will see whether my next scheduled scan occurs on the
desktop. (And on the laptop for that matter.)
