Full Scan Running On Its Own

Okay another little quirk has raised it's head in BDTS 2011 ,, i've got full virus scan set to run every three days as seen in the screen shot attached , but it seems to be running on its own schedule , sometimes up to three times a day as seen in the other screenshot.


Plus it takes a lot to stop the scan as well ,, if you click on the stop it comes up with the acknowledgment box , i click yes and yet the program still stays on screen ,, not scanning , but still counting the time ,, it will stay up like that for quite some time ,, if you click the stop button again , you'll get the box , but the scan won't disappear ,, it takes sometime ,, up to 5 or more minutes for the screen to actually change to the finish screen ,, during that time it slows down the whole computer as well.


Any suggestions as to why this is happening??

    Check the General-->Optimization tab to see if the box is checked to run a scan when the system is idle.


    Here is a screenshot. I unchecked that option on my PCs.

    In BD Total Security 2011 , this option doesn't show up on the general settings tab.

    Well, I took a stab at it. :( One of the BD folks will probably have to help you.


    Sorry,

    Hi Gord,


    You can find that option if you open BitDefender and go to: Tune-Up -> Optimization. If the option is already unchecked please let me know.
