Wish List

[Guest]

Having not really seen any comments requesting these features we just thought
we would mention them.
It would be nice if the next (final) version of Windows Defender had:
1. A Scan History log with at least type of scan, status (completed,
aborted, what?), total files examined, infections found, logged by which
process, started on, finished on (yes, we've seen the event viewer events).
2. Be able to run scheduled scans when the machine is logged off.
3. Be able to schedule (from within the interface, not using the task
scheduler) in say 15 minute increments.

Thank you. These are just our wish list so far.

Item 2 should be present now. The system needs to be on, but should not
need a user logged in. I'll admit to not having tested this, but the
relevant pieces are services, and should be independent of the user logged
in. If the machine goes to sleep, you need to be sure the task scheduler
can wake it--not sure how that functionality works.
