Problem with automatic scans (scan schedule)
Altho I think everything is set OK for automatic scanning at 2.00 am - it
does not run the scan. Is there a bug. "Disable scan schedule" is NOT ticked. Thanks for any help |

RE: Problem with automatic scans (scan schedule)
Is the machine turned on, with an administrator signed in, at 2 AM?
Unfortunately, these are requirements of the current beta code. The scan runs in the context of the current user, so an administrator must be logged in for the scan and removal to work. If you are logged in, as an administrator--something more is wrong. "Graham V" wrote: > Altho I think everything is set OK for automatic scanning at 2.00 am - it > does not run the scan.

RE: Problem with automatic scans (scan schedule)
Thats very interesting. I have Windows XP which is on 24 hours - does that
mean I need to leave it logged into a user rather than at the "welcome" screen that gives you the choice of which user to logon ? Thanks for your help.

RE: Problem with automatic scans (scan schedule)
I'm afraid that, in the case of a scheduled scan with Microsoft Antispyware,
beta1, it does. This is very likely to be fixed in beta2, but the current beta code doesn't run as a service--so it is dependent on a user being logged in. There are some folks experimenting with trying to get the app to run as a service, and use command line arguments to schedule it, but unless they publish a successful recipe, I'd either change the scan time, or leave someone logged it, until beta2 is released.
