Scheduled Scan Not Running

Another issue with my LapTop this time (7 Pro, 32 bit).


I have the schedule set to run a full system scan every Friday at 20.00. This is now the second week in a row that it does not start thescan. When I check the Schedule, it has just moved the next scheduled scan to Friday next week without having run it thisweek.


Anyone who can help on this one?


Thanks


Jake

    Hi JakerR,


    Please note that your computer must me logged on and running for the scheduled scan to take place. If your computer is turned off, logged off, in sleep-mode, standby or hibernation, the scan will be postponed until the computer meets the above requirement. This will also happen if Laptop mode or Game mode are activated.


    Considering the above please make another scheduled task and make sure your computer meets all the conditions above. Please let me know the results.

    Hi Daniel,


    The only issue I discovered with regards to your message here above was that for some mysterious reason the LapTop mode was set. I put it in normal mode. Problem still persists.


    I have however foud a workaround: standard system tasks that I schedule do not run, however when I create a user defined task, that works. So I have now simply created a weekly scan task.


    So it does not solve the issue, it works around it. I can live with that, but I guess BD should still try to find out why it does not work.


    Cheers,

    Hi Jake,


    Thanks for the feedback. To be sure I got this right: No matter the type of System task you try to schedule (Deep system scan, Full system scan, Quick Scan and Autologon scan) it will not start at the scheduled time ? Check the View Logs section for the time of the scans executed.

    You got it exactly right, Daniel. Only user defined tasks will run, none of the System tasks (I tried several of them). Log does indeed not show them taking place either. Once past the day and time it was supposed to run, it just changes the scheduled time for it to take place to the following week (as I set it weekly), without having performed it.

    Hey Jake,


    Try to repair BitDefender as explained below. If the issue still persist try to schedule a scan (deep system scan - system tasks) after one hour or two without having your PC restarted to see if the issue still occur.


    Please keep me posted. Thanks!

    Hi Daniel,


    No success. Tried what you suggested, still not working.


    Any additional ideas?


    Thanks in advance for your further help.


    Take care.

    Thanks. In the meantime, I tried creating a user-defined scan task, however that too experienced the same problem... it did not run on schedule.


    So now I have uploaded the files for Dan, per your suggestion.

    Dan,


    Did you receive my reply to the support email with the above ticket id? I have not had any luck with the instructions you sent. The support tool did not create any dump files, and after creating the odscanui.log folder and waiting for several days (during which scheduled scans should have run), the folder remained empty.


    Question: Is there a way for us to get a refund for our Bitdefender license on Bitdefender 2011? This has never worked, and we are growing impatient.

    Hi Jeff,


    In order to generate the scan log after you create the folder you need to start a DEEP SYSTEM scan and the folder should populate with the log file. I do believe that we can sort this out together in an hour or so. Please check your email for further instructions.


    Regarding the refund you can always PM my colleague George R. and he will advise you further.

    Hi Daniel,


    Hope you are well.


    I sent you the requested info about 8 days ago and haven't heard from you yet :-).


    I am still using a user defined task to do the weekly scan, which I can live with.


    I also sent you info regarding a more problematic issue: on one of my other computers (desktop), BD will simply never update. That ticket is: Ticket ID:201009161019733.


    This is of concern, as BD simply is not up to date to protect the computer.


    It will need to be solved. In case you cannot help, I will have to switch to another security software, and ask for a refund. I'd rather stay with BD as I have been a satisfied customer for many years, but it needs to work.


    Hope you can help.


    Thanks Daniel.
