MS AntiSpyware - schedule only AM, doesn't allow PM?

[Guest]

Hi,
I've an odd problem - MS AntiSpyware isn't allowing me to schedule a date
that is past mid-day. The spinner allows me to enter a time (For instance,
17:00:00) that should appear as 5PM, but as soon as I hit save, it says,
"Settings updated", but then changes that to 05:00:00 and says, "Current
Scheduled spyware scan runs at: 5AM every day"

This is an annoyance to me, as my computer is not on all the time, and I
only use it of an evening. I don't *think* it happens on my work system,
though I won't be able to check until Monday.

Using Win XP Home SP2, logged on as administrator.

Any ideas what might be causing this? Further diagnostic information can be
supplied if required.

To set a schedule in MSAS in the afternoon:



1. Close MSAS
2. In control panel "Regional and Language Options", button "Customize",
tab "Time", configure a 12-hour AM/PM time format.
3. Open MSAS, configure your desired schedule in 12-hour AM/PM format,
click "Save", close MSAS.
4. In control panel "Regional and Language Options", button "Customize",
tab "Time", re-configure your preferred 24-hour time format.



Then your scheduled event should occur at your desired time, even if the
displayed time in MSAS looks wrong.

Ok... thanks, it's worked.

Please, please tell me this will be fixed when the software goes live?

Yes, it should be resolved in beta 2. The AntiMalware team are watching
these newsgroups closely.
