No More Nags?

[Guest]

I've been using the new version of WD for a few weeks now, and since I
updated I haven't ever been nagged to scan my system as I haven't done it for
three days!
It seems to be working in every other respect.
Has this behaviour been removed in the latest version?

For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºst.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.

Do you have scheduled scans set, and if so for what frequency?

Thanks Engel and Bill.
My versions are all as quoted.
I don't have any automatic scans scheduled.
"Automatically scan my computer" is unchecked.
Real-time protection is on.

In fact all my settings are exactly as they always were, when I was being
prompted to do a manual scan every three days.
Now that is not happening any more.

That's good news. I'm not sure whether there is "no nag" or whether it has
a long time period--two weeks perhaps--but this sounds like an improvement.
