I post on several forums Mainly on www.answerpool.com
I'm happy with the set up of the AntiSpyware Program
But this caused a wee bit of head scratching
This I found yesterday and it was confirmed by a
Moderator on the www.webuser.co.uk forum I posted to.
"Cure" Set the time to 00:00 AM and it "fixes" the issue
until MS issue a fix
quote:
For 2 consecutive days I have had to manually run the
Scan on the Microsoft Antispyware Program because it did
not start at its scheduled time of 23:30 .Only time I
usually run it manually is if I am offline at that time
OK?
But these 2 days I'm online and the scan should start at
11:30 PM prompt and the AVG update prompt comes at 11:40
(also scheduled)
But all I saw was the AVG Update and no Notification that
the Microsoft Antispyware Program had started or
finished. Flashes a summary box up regardless of Finding
a problem or not (only had 1 item in 3 months)
Puzzling.
Had a look at the schedule looked OK... Until I saw it
had been set to 11:30 AM Not touched the controls in
months! Reset it to the Old time pressed the "Update
Schedule" button and the display reverted to the earlier
time Did this several times same result
Set it earlier same thing But the only time I got it
to "Hold" on was 12 Midnight (0:00am) Don't ask why?
All my A/V and Spyware detectors are reporting nothing
(all quarantined items were deleted ages ago) This has
the Feeling of a trojan attack of some sort?
Anybody else see anything like this?
And the reply I got
quote:
Your note prompted me to check what mine was doing. I've
got a similar problem in that it hasn't done an automated
scan since July and I've just tried to change the time
from 0200 to 1800. As soon as I click Update Schedule it
goes back to 0600. Seems it can't handle the 24 hour
clock. Must have been the last software update that
changed things.
