Spyware running when not dialled in?

F

Freddy

I have just installed Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta. It is
scheduled to run at 2am each day. Even though i will not
be logged in at that time, will it automatically pick up
the updates the next time I dial in?
Thanks
Freddy.

Sorry, no. If you are not logged in as an Administrator at the scheduled
time, then the scan is omitted completely.
