How To Turn Off Any Scheduled Scans

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2014 on Windows 8 64 bit Standard


I do not have any scheduled scan tasks. However, I will sometimes get a message that Bitdefender has started a scan. I want ALL of my Bitdefender scans to be Manual. How do I Turn Off ALL Automatic Bitdefender Scans? I still want the normal 'Active' Protection, but not want any 'Automatic' scans.


Thanks in Advance.

    Hi TheKid7,


    The Bitdefender integration with Windows 8 is a bit different, meaning that the Autoscan will start only when the PC is idle. It's part of Windows 'Maintenance in progress'.


    As Pushkar Gogte already mentioned, to turn it off simply switch Autoscan to OFF from the main Antivirus panel.


    Please let me know if you have other questions, thank you!
