Change Scheduled Av Scan

Thanks - that got me part way there.

The schedule is now cleared - it stopped scanning at 6:00 pm, but now it won't scan on any schedule I put in.

I'm running Vista with two accounts. I've tried it with the same schedule set in both accounts and with one account with no schedule and the other account (the administrattor account) set. I rebooted and made sure that the admiinstrator account was open when the schedule time came - but nothing happened. The schedule did change to show the scheduled time for the next day, however - making it seem like the scan had run - but it didn't.

Thanks.

First, please make sure that User Account Control for Vista is disabled in the Control Panel. Then please use the patch available here then restart the system and check if you can schedule the scan at a new hour.

No - it is not listed there. The date of the next scheduled scan did, however, roll to tomorrow.

At the time when the schedule is suppose to run, please open the task manager and check if "uiscan.exe" is running. Please let me know if you have this process listed there.

Been here done that. See previous posts.

Thanks for helping.

You will now have a page, on the right, where you can set the scan schedule. If you want the scan to run once a week, choose the middle option and select a day. If you want to run the scan more often, select the first or third options, where you can set hour intervals (for example, 24 if you wish to run it once a day) or choose to have the scan run every time you turn on the computer.

Yes - that works. I've been doing that on a regular basis since this problem started. (Remember - before I couldn't change the scan schedule and you gave me a patch - which fixed the problem but created this new one.)

Thanks

Please tell me if you are able to start a scan by going to Advanced View - Antivirus - Virus Scan - click on Deep system scan, for example. If the scan does not run, try to go to Start - All programs - BitDefender - BitDefender Manual Scan and tell me if you can run a scan from there.

This worked, thank you.

Sorry it took me so long to respond - for some reason I missed this when you first posted it and just found it. Did the clone yesterday and it worked today.

Thanks again.

Please go to BitDefender - Antivirus - Virus Scan - right click on Deep System Scan and select Clone. Try to schedule a new scheduled scan using this wizard and check in order to see if the new scan is running at the time that you set it.
