I initially set up my automatic anti-spyware scan to run at 12:15 PM so that
it would run every day while I was at lunch. This is the only perfect time
because it is a work computer I am using. I do not want it running while I
am using it, we shut off all work computers at night, and the extra 15
minutes is in case I am working on an important task and need to work a few
minutes into lunch.

Today I realized I never saw the status dialog when returning from lunch so
I checked it and it was scheduled for 12:15 AM - not PM. I slapped myself
in the forehead, thinking it was my own error and tried to change it to PM.
It is physically impossible to do this. Every time I try it - it reverts
back to AM.

Did I include enough useless personal info into my description?

Good progy overall,

You can't get reliable operation in the noon to 12:59 time period as I
understand it. The only available workaround is to change your lunch
period.

I can just imagine the message--I always hate it when a machine asks a human
being to, for example, "wait patiently!"

"Please choose another time to schedule your spyware scan. If you are
attempting to get away with having the scan take place over your lunch
period, you will need to eat lunch approximately an hour later than usual.
Thank you for accomodating our beta foibles."
