Scheduled Overnigh Scans only ...

[Michael]

We have been running Beta 1.0.614 for about a week on a
Windows XP Pro PC in our office. When we installed we
accepted the scheduled overnight scan at 2:00am.

We are finding that the overnight scan only takes place if
the user keeps the machine logged in. If we logoff at the
end of the day and come back the next day, the scan does
not occur.

Our users are expected to logoff each night. Symantec AV
runs overnight as well and it will run with the account
logged off.

Is this expected behavior for MS Antispyware? Or, do I
have to do something to get this to work?

TIA.

This is current behaviour of Microsoft AntiSpyware, it does not run as a
Service.
